BACKGROUND:
During October 2016 through June 2017, C.R. was a 602 WIC Ward of the Court and a Non-Minor Dependent eligible to receive a $900 per month Infant Supplement. The Probation Department deemed her ineligible for the supplement October 2016 through April 2017, due to her failure to submit her application and the appropriate documentation. C.R. submitted the application and documents to receive the supplement in May 2017. C.R. received a one-time Infant Supplement payment in the amount of $1800 for the months of May and June 2017. C.R. appealed Probation's decision with the Appeals Unit at EHSD. As a result an Appellate decision was made, and Probation was ordered to issue payment of the Infant Supplement for a prorated portion of October 2016 through June 2017, taking into consideration any CalWORKs payments C.R. received. During this period of time C.R. had received CalWORKs payments. The CalWORKs payments offset the amount of the Infant Supplement C.R. was eligible to receive. Taking into consideration the proration of the months of October 2016 and June 2017, the previous one-time Infant Supplement payment and the CalWORKs payments an outstanding balance of $316 is due to C.R..
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to take the recommended action would result in the Probation Department and County being in noncompliance with the Appellate decision, potentially exposing both to further financial liability.
