This curriculum is intended to be an overview of the earnings exemptions allowed while collecting social assistance. It does not have all allowable exemptions or deductions. There are many different questions that learners may have, and we suggest that you direct them to their caseworkers for individual situations.
Our intent is to help learners:
understand the difference between gross pay and net pay
know how to read a pay stub
know how to calculate their earnings exemptions
know how to enter the information into the forms for OW and OSDP
This resource is designed to be used by learners in various settings, including independent learning, 1-to-1 tutoring, small group and classroom learning.
