CalWORKs Policy - Department of Public Social Services

Example
Participant is eligible to RA for February, March, April
and May. RA is issued for February. Participant fails
to return receipt or contact EW in March and April, but
returns in mid-May with the rent receipts for February,
March, April, and May showing that the monthly rent
was paid. EW verifies payments with landlord and
establishes Good Cause due to participant being
hospitalized in March and April. Participant is eligible
to the remaining RA payments as indicated on the
original PA 6011, and therefore payments are issued.
NOTE:
In the case of the example, the RA
payments would be issued directly to the
participant via their EBT account.
How are the 4-Month RA payment amounts
determined?

payment issuance table:

How are the 4-Month RA payments issued?
All RA payments will be issued via the LEADER
Auxiliary Issuance method and issued as a two-party
check. The HREW/HCFP EW can issue the RA
payment following existing LEADER procedures, by

under “Auxiliary Issuance Detail, “Field Name.”
