Entering TOA Information
page 8-1
Other How To’s
Time limit clock information for TANF 60-month and CalWORKs 48-month is
computed in CalWIN based on the programs authorized in the CalWIN System as
well as user-entered information. Intake workers need to record the TOA
information obtained from the sending county or state on the Collect Individual
Prior/Current Aid Detail window or Native TANF Program for the aided parent(s),
stepparents, and/or caretaker relative on the Collect Individual Time Limit Clock
Detail window.
When the time clock information is changed, the EDBC result must be authorized in
order to update the CalWIN time clocks and send a transaction to TRAC in the
nightly batch process.
8.2
Add New Time Clock Information
The CalWORKs 48-Month and/or TANF 60-Month Time Clock may need to be
created in instances where the client is new to California but has previously
received aid in another state, the client is an intercounty transfer from another
California county, or CalWIN conversion failed to create the clients time clock at the
time of conversion.

CalWIN will auto-tick and untick the TOA clocks when EDBC runs and the case is

• Sanctioned,
• Living in Indian Country or Alaskan Native Village, in which at least 50% of
the adults living in the Indian Country or in the Village are not employed,
• A former recipient of cash aid and is only receiving child care, case
management or supportive services and is employed.
• The recipient did not receive a cash aid payment for the month because
the grant amount is less than $10.
• The cash aid payment was fully reimbursed as a result of child support
collection whether collected in that month or any subsequent month.
• Any overpayment month, (an entire month of aid in which the recipient was
not entitled to cash aid), that is fully repaid.
[Refer to “Exempt TANF Months,” page 39-4 and “CalWORKs Individual Time Limit
Exemptions,” page 39-9 in the CalWORKs Handbook for further details regarding
policy.]
Note:
Applying child support recoupment to untick TOA Clocks requires intensive
review of child support collection history and records. Unticking the
CalWORKs 48-month clock due to child support payment collections or
repayment of overpayments must be done by the designated TOA workers
only.
8.4
Exemptions and Extenders
The exemption process is run using the case information Data Collection to make
determinations of ES Program Status. Do not override exemptions that could be
captured through the entry of case individual information in Data Collection (e.g.
Disability/Medical Conditions Detail window).

The Employment Services Subsystem data must match the Data Collection
data in order to not have a conflict with Exemptions and Effective Begin Dates.

clocks appropriately for each month covered by the manual exemption based on
the exemption reason and the Begin and End Date of the exemption. The following
are exemptions that require manual overrides:

8.12 Time On Aid Notices of Action
8.12.1
42-Month and 46-Month NOA
CalWIN is set to automatically trigger both the 42-month TOA NOA and the
46-month TOA NOA informing the individual that his/her aid will discontinue at 48
months of aid. When the trigger is successfully set, the notices will be sent on the
42nd month and 46th month. However, it is the worker’s responsibility to ensure the
notices are indeed generated and sent to the client. If the NOAs are not
auto-generated, the NOAs must be manually generated and a GadWIN Ticket must
be created.

match the records in TRAC, it will be necessary to do a comparison to determine
what action needs to be taken.

Reminder:
CalWIN is the system of record and therefore it is assumed that CalWIN
contains the correct information. However, all relevant data in CalWIN must be
researched to ensure that the mismatch months of the Time Clock in CalWIN
are correct.
Example:
In this situation, the client’s record in CalWIN shows that she has used 6
months on her CalWORKs Clock; however, the client’s record in TRAC shows
that she has used 16 months on her CalWORKs Clock.
1. Compare the information contained in the CalWIN window Display Individual
Time Limit Clock Summary with the information in the TRAC screen KCAL to
determine which months are missing or inaccurate in TRAC.

the mismatched months are from 12/2007 to 10/2008. CalWIN has recorded
these months as “Non Ticking” yet they are recorded as ticking in TRAC.
a. In CalWIN these months (12/2007 to 10/2008) are Non Ticking because they
are all Exempt with the Reason of Cal-Learn Head of Household based on
the information in both the Collect Individual Time Limit Clock Detail and
Collect Individual Time Limit Clock Exemption Detail window.

b. In TRAC, the ESUM screen shows that only 10/2008 has been recorded as
an exemption due to Cal-Learn Head of HH.
4. Because the exemption was not recorded in TRAC, an SCD 1296 must be
completed and given to the MTO to record these months as exempt due to
Cal-Learn Head of Household. Since this is a request to add exemptions, the
ESUM screen must be attached to the SCD 1296 request.
