CalWORKs Policy - Department of Public Social Services

• Leaves the country permanently; or
• The sponsor or noncitizen dies.
Are the sponsor’s income and resources
used to determine eligibility?
Yes, all the income and resources (including
the sponsor’s spouse) of a sponsor who is not
receiving public assistance (CalWORKs, SSI,
CAPI, General Relief) are deemed to the
sponsored noncitizen.
The sponsored noncitizen must provide the QR
22, Sponsored Noncitizens Applying for or
Receiving Cash Aid or Food Stamps, at the
time of application and each redetermination.
The QR 22 must be returned within 20
calendar days (control with FAC) after the EW
initiates the request. If the QR 22 is not
returned within this period, aid for the
sponsored noncitizen is denied or discontinued
at the end of the current quarter.
If the noncitizen receives aid to which he/she is
not entitled as a result of the sponsor failing to
accurately report information needed to
determine eligibility, repayment may be
requested from the sponsor as well as the
sponsored noncitizen.
The sponsor is free from responsibility only
when:
• The sponsor has good cause for incorrect
reporting; or
• The noncitizen failed to report accurately.
The noncitizen must submit the QR 7, and QR
72, Sponsor’s Quarterly Income and
Resources Report, signed by the sponsor, the
sponsor’s spouse and the noncitizen.
