Overview of Cash Programs
Webinar | Available
The Cash Assistance (CA) program is an income support program of last resort for many low-income families and individuals in need. There are complicated rules to determine who is included as part of a household and how much income will count towards eligibility.
In this course, we will simplify these eligibility rules for beginners and also cover how the CA grant is structured and how much is allocated for rent, immigration criteria, and how to calculate a household’s benefit amount (the standard of need) when there is income.
The focus of this course is on eligibility and determining the Cash Assistance grant.
Target Audience: Social service professionals new to the world of public benefits, as well as for those who may need a refresher!
