CW 43-109 – UAM
Contribution
Is a UAM required to make a financial
contribution to the family?
Yes, a UAM (other than a bona fide lodger,
roomer or boarder) who is living with a
CalWORKs family is required to make a
financial contribution. The financial
contribution (documented on the CW 71)
cannot be less than it would cost him to
provide himself with an “independent living
arrangement.”
The cost of an “independent living
arrangement” is the sum of the in-kind income
values to a one-person AU for housing, utilities
and food.
When the UAM’s financial contribution is less
than the cost of providing him with an
“independent living arrangement” a
determination must be made for possible
misuse of county funds.
See CW 44-113.4 – UAM for more information.
See CW 44-115.3 – In-Kind Values for more

sufficient income and resources to meet the

• Achieves U.S. citizenship through
Naturalization.

coverage or can be credited with such
qualifying quarters.
