The purpose of this policy bulletin is to introduce the newly developed Congregate Care Budget Worksheet (W-648J) to Job Center staff. Form W-648J must be used when a manual budget is required for a Cash Assistance (CA) applicant/participant residing in a congregate care facility or residential treatment center using shelter types 15, 16, 27, 28, 29, 31, 32, 42, or 43. For processing Congregate Care cases, see PD #09-31-ELI The W-648J form is constructed in a manner that captures the needs of both the in-care person (individual receiving treatment) and the not-in-care person (dependent of the in-care person residing in the same facility, but not in need of care).
