Treatment of Americorps and Vista Payments in CalWORKs

MPP §44-111.61(f) exempts Vista (now called Americorps*Vista) payments from consideration as income in CalWORKs. However, there are no exemptions for other types of Americorps payments (e.g., Americorps*State/*National, Americorps*National Civilian Community Corps, etc). For food stamp purposes, Americorps*Vista payments are exempt and not counted as income for eligibility or allotment amount determinations.
