Adding Value to an Issued CAC
Adding Value to an Issued Client Assistance Card
Relevant To: Caseworker, Caseworker Health, Caseworker
Supervisor
Core Concepts
Why would I need to add value to an issued client assistance card?
A client may bring up a new unmet need after we have already issued them a client assistance
card. In such instances, or perhaps when an insufficient amount was mistakenly loaded onto a
card, you can add additional value to an already issued CAC. Adding value to an existing card
is preferable to issuing a new card because it avoids a second card activation fee and simplifies
tracking and reporting the assistance we have issued a client.
Is there a limit to the number of times I can add value to an issued client
assistance card?
Yes. The system limits the number of times you can load value onto a card to four, so you can
add value to an issued card three times.
Is there a limit to the amount that I can load onto a client assistance card?
Yes. CACs are subject to both a per-load limit and a maximum overall limit per account.
Consult your Supervisor to learn the limits that apply to a particular division or DR.
Are there any forms associated with adding value to an issued client assistance
card?
No. You do not need to complete a new CAC Form (F1030) when adding value to an issued
client assistance card.

4. Enter item details
Action
•
(in the Step 2 section of the screen) For each item you
have added:
o
Adjust the default quantity (Qty), if needed
 If you are adding value to a CAC for a hotel
stay, the Qty should reflect the number of
room nights, which is the number of rooms
multiplied by the number of nights (two rooms
for three nights equals six room nights).
o
Adjust the Unit Cost, if needed and the cost is
editable
 You will not be able to adjust the cost of all
items.
 The system automatically calculates the Total cost of
the items you have entered.
 When needed, you can click its associated red X to
remove an entered item.
5. Reload the CAC with
additional value
•
Click the Reload link beneath the card’s listing in the
Card History section of the screen.
 The system auto-populates the proxy number in the
proxy # field and verifies its validity.
 If desired, you can manually re-enter the proxy
number into the proxy # field, but clicking Reload is

 The system validates and processes the CAC
transaction, and returns you to the Household tab,
where it displays a message indicating “Bank
transaction completed.” It lists the CAC transaction in
the Card History section of the Client Assistance
Card (CAC) screen. For details on viewing a case’s
CAC transactions, see the Viewing a Case’s Client
Assistance Card Transaction History quick
reference guide.
