ACL 12-23: CalWORKs) Program: Stopping Overpayment Collection From Certain Current Minors (5/10/12)
More information on policy changes regarding CalWORKs overpayment collections from minors. (A follow up to ACL 12-02.) This ACL
requires that CWDs terminate OP collections from another segment of the CalWORKs population. As of January 6, 2012, CWDs may no longer recoup prior OPs from any minor who becomes a member of a new Assistance Unit (AU) when the OP occurred while the minor was a member of the previous AU. That’s right – no collections from AU’s if the OP is following a minor!
This also includes stopping all current collection actions via grant adjustment or other collection methods and to prospectively forego pursuit of OP repayment from minors who moved from an overpaid AU to a new AU, including barring reduction of June 2012 grants for this population. More instructions about retros to follow. [Download]
