Income
When an AU member has been found eligible
for SSI/SSP, what action is taken?
When notified by Social Security Administration
(SSA) and/or by the participant that an AU
member has been approved for Supplemental
Security Income/State Supplemental Program
(SSI), the following will apply:
The EW will data enter the income in LEADER.
Request verification of SSI/SSP payment
(award letter, copy of the check).
Initiate a SSA 1610 (out of drawer) to
document SSI/SSP.
The SSI/SSP payment and/or lump sum
retroactive payment is exempt; however, the
income must be reported on the QR 7.
LEADER will;
o Initiate the appropriate NOA, including the
MT 40-001, No Change NOA, if information
is received mid-quarter.

quarter with a 10-day NOA.

How is a voluntary contribution from an
SSI/SSP recipient treated?
When an SSI/SSP recipient resides with the
CalWORKs family, completion of the PA 300 (out
of drawer), Affidavit Regarding Pooled vs.
Contributed Income – AFDC Family, will help
determine if the SSI/SSP recipient voluntarily
contributes income that must be deducted as
income to the AU (contribution is not mandatory).
