ACIN I-29-03 May 12, 2003 (Synopsis): Records Retention for CalWORKs 60-Month Time Limits

Reference: ACIN I-01-03

Counties are instructed to retain all welfare case records that support tracking of time on aid for CalWORKs recipients. This includes time limit information in county/consortia data systems as well as hard copy or permanent photographic or electronic form.

Counties are required to maintain case records until Welfare Data Tracking Implementation Project (WDTIP), the statewide automated time limit tracking system has been validated for accuracy.
