Time Limit Exemptions - “Clock Stoppers”

•
Disabled (You must have medical proof of a disability that is expected to last at least 30 days.)
•
60 years or older.
•
Caring for an ill or incapacitated person living in your home, which impairs you from working or participating in
welfare-to-work activities.

working or participating in welfare-to-work activities.
•
A victim of domestic abuse and the county waives the 48-month time limit.

More “Clock Stoppers” to the CalWORKs 48-Month Time Limit
A month does not count if:
•
You did not get CalWORKs cash aid for yourself because your grant was less than $10, you were sanctioned, or you
were not eligible for any other reason.
•
Your cash grant is fully repaid by child support collection.
•
You are off cash aid, employed and only getting supportive services such as child care, transportation, or case
