If
the Assistance Group’s income is at or above 190% FPL but below 200% FPL
at renewal, CSAW will assign the Assistance Group (AG) to the Gradual
Phase Out (GPO) period. During the GPO period, CSAW will increase an AG’s
copayment per hour starting the month after the agency worker enters the
new income in CWW, but the AG’s copayment will not exceed the 200% FPL
copayment level at any time.
| Example: Sari’s income places her AG at 193% FPL at renewal in July. CSAW assigns Sari’s AG to the GPO period. In October, Sari starts a new job. Her new income places her AG at 205% FPL. Sari’s copayment per hour will increase from the 190% FPL copayment level to the 200% FPL copayment level. CSAW will not increase her copayment beyond the 200% FPL copayment level and her AG will remain in the GPO period, regardless of subsequent increases in income, until the next annual renewal. |
