NOTE: The number of sponsored noncitizens
receiving CalWORKs and/or in the AU

What happens if the deemed resources
alone or in combination with other property

There is no eligibility for the sponsored

Should the sponsor and his/her spouse’s
resources be considered as the resources of
other applicants/participants in the AU?
The resources of the sponsor and his/her
spouse should be considered only if they are
available to other members of the AU, e.g., the
sponsor established a trust fund that is
available to meet the current needs of the AU.
