California Court of Appeal


Christensen v. Lightbourne, 144254

Reversing the judgment of the trial court that the California Department of Social Services' policy of counting child support payment as nonexempt income for the purpose of determining qualification for CalWORKs cash aid was invalid because no statute or regulation required the exemption of the husband's garnished child support from the income of the applicant's family and, therefore, the Department properly treated these amounts as income.
