In a case of TMI, CDSS issued this notice, revising the county EBT reporting requirements originally set out in ACL 10-44 . The counties are now only supposed to report cases that have had 100 percent of their cash transactions occurring out-of-state for 90 consecutive days or longer. (The state found that most cases timely discontinued and it was a waste of effort to check the list every 30 days.) [Download]
To start automating CalWORKs Policy Interpretations (PI’s) , the State has rescinded instructions in ACIN I-35-10, and issued a new form (CW 2202W) and request guidelines. This ACIN does not apply to WTW PI’s, which are still governed by ACIN I-75-11. Automation systems consortia, Welfare Advocates, or ALJ’s can also use this form to submit questions, to calworkscountypirequest@dss.ca.gov. (This is an alternate avenue, and does not replace the WARRA process for advocates.) [Download]
