It is expected that approximately 17,000 full-time and part-time workers will be hired as census takers in California beginning on April 1, 2009. Most workers will be working from four to ten weeks. While the income is not exempt, it can only be counted (for quarterly reporters) if reasonably anticipated. “The nature of these temporary part-time and full-time jobs is such that the income received will often be difficult to reasonably anticipate.” Any income received mid-quarter that does not exceed the Income Reporting Threshold, does not need to be reported until the next QR7 is due and may not affect the CalWORKs grant, if it is not expected to continue. All these rules also apply to RCA, and Trafficking and Crime Victims Assistance Program (TCVAP) folks. [Download]
