Reminder: Foster Care is NOT paid for the last day of placement (the day the child leaves). Exception: There is a one day minimum payment ($32 effective 1/1/08) for an ESH placement (when a child enters and leaves an ESH on the same day). 1. Determine the total number of days to be paid for the placement. 2. Scan across the row to the column that corresponds to the total number of days in the payment month. The decimal figure is the fraction of the month for which the placement is to be paid. Revised: 12/21/15 Chart Book Update #15-10
Chart Book page 3-47 3. Multiply the total monthly rate/benefit amount by the decimal fraction and round down, dropping all cents, to determine the rate/benefit amount to be paid for the child s placement. Example: A child, age 6 with the rate of $673 is placed on July 7 and leaves the facility on July 21, (14 days). Use the 31-Day column and scan down to 14 and locate the decimal (.4516) and multiply $673 x.4516 = $303.92; after rounding down (dropping all cents); the payment = $304.

Reminder: Receipt of Refugee Cash Assistance (RCA) or Medi-Cal only is NOT considered receipt of AFDC.

For applicants (intake), the applicant must be eligible without the $30 and 1/3 disregard (for the Financial Eligibility Test), before it can be applied to their earnings. Exception: If the person with earnings is in the AU and has received aid (from any state) in one of the preceding 4 months, the $30 and 1/3 disregard is allowed when computing the Financial Eligibility Test (FET).

Income deemed to the AU, including but not limited to, income from a stepparent, senior parent, ineligible alien parent, etc. Any other non-exempt income of persons in the AU or persons whose income must be counted towards the AU, including persons excluded for cause, sanctioned.

Child/Dependent Care costs (up to $175 for each child age 2 or older or incapacitated person; up to $200 for each child under 2). This will equal the net nonexempt earned income. The remainder equals net earnings. 4. Add any nonexempt unearned income, including deemed income. This total equals the net nonexempt income of the Assistance Unit (AU). 5. Compare the amount in Step 4 to MBSAC for the AU. Note: Include any AFDC Special Needs if applicable. IF THE NET NONEXEMPT INCOME... Is equal to or greater than MBSAC, Is LESS than MBSAC, THEN... There is NO AFDC eligibility for the AU. Establish non-federal Foster Care. There is federal eligibility for Foster Care. Chart Book Update #15-10 Revised: 12/21/15
