Q: Is the redetermination still tied to the current Case Plan being within the 6-month time frame for Family Reunification cases? If the Case Plan is not current and past the 6-month time frame, will it still process the redetermination? This could happen if cases are delayed or hearings are continued.
A: CWS-CARES does not process the redetermination itself; CWS-CARES provides updated data to CalSAWS so CalSAWS can process the redetermination. CWS-CARES will pass through the most recent Case Plan date; however, if the Case Plan is late, this would not prevent the CalSAWS Eligibility Worker from processing the redetermination.
