2023-24 Classified School Employee Summer Assistance Program (CSESAP)
2023-24 Employee Election Form is due on Wednesday, March 1, 2023.
The District is excited to announce we are participating in the Classified School Employee Summer Assistance Program (CSESAP) for the 2023-24 school year!
This program allows eligible classified employees who work 11 months or fewer and earn up to $62,400 per year to save money from their checks throughout the 2023-24 school year and receive a matching amount from the State of California during the summer of 2024.
To participate in the program, all 11-month or fewer employees must submit an official application informing payroll how much money they want to be deducted from their paychecks monthly during the 2023-24 school year.

Employees will receive a CSESAP Participation Election form via DocuSign sent directly to their District emails the week of February 6, 2023. We will also mail hard copies of the CSESAP Participation Election form to the home addresses of eligible employees. This form is date sensitive and must be submitted via DocuSign or via email to [email protected] by MARCH 1, 2023.
Completing the Employee Election Form is the ONE AND ONLY step to complete the CSESAP enrollment process. If employees submit the election form by March 1, 2023, they are enrolled in the program for the 2023-24 school year!
By May 1, 2023, the State will announce the match for 2023-24 participants.
By June 1, 2023, MUSD will send an email to provide an estimated state match employees could expect to receive. After receiving the June notification, and no later than 30 days after the start of the school year, employees may (1) withdraw their election to participate in the program, or (2) reduce the amount to be withheld from their paycheck, not increase.
Employees are not required to respond to this form; if there is no change needed, employees are not required to take further action. For more information on CSESAP, please visit the CDE's CSESAP website here.

Some Important Information About the Program:
- The $1 for each $1 match is not guaranteed and will depend on the total number of employees participating statewide. If the program is oversubscribed, the match will be less than $1. All match funds are subject to employee payroll taxes (Federal and State). The State will announce the match by May 1, 2023.
- Participating employees must work 11 months or fewer per fiscal year in their regular assignment.
- Participating employees will remain eligible for the CSESAP as long as the employee’s work during the summer session is not part of their regular assignment.
- Participating employees must have worked for the MUSD for one year at the time the employee elects to participate in the program (eligible employees have a March 1, 2022 start date or earlier), and
- Employees are eligible if their regular annual pay from the LEA is $62,400 or less. (“Regular annual pay” is the pay the employee receives in their normal permanent position(s), commonly known as "end-of-month pay.")
How to Calculate Deduction and State Match Examples
Your salary multiplied by (x) 10% divided by (÷) 11 or 10 equals (=) your monthly deduction.
Your requested flat dollar amount (=) your monthly deduction.
Estimated State Match Calculation:
Multiply 0.69 cents by 10% of your salary OR the dollar amount of your withholding for your estimated state match.
*****************************************************
Employee A - 10% withholding:
Annual salary: $35,857.00 x 10% = $3,585.70 ÷ 10 = $358.57 monthly deduction (10-month calendar year)
$3,585.70 x 0.69 = $2,474.13 CSESAP match
Employee B - 5% withholding:
Annual salary: $35,857.00 x 5% = $1,792.85 ÷ 11 = $162.99 monthly deduction (11-month calendar year)
$1,792.85 x 0.69 = $1,237.07 CSESAP match
Employee C – Flat monthly amount of $250 for a 10-month employee:
$250 x 10 = $2,500 annual contribution
$2,500 x 0.69 = $1,725 CSESAP match
Employee D – Flat monthly amount of $100 for an 11-month employee:
$100 x 11 = $1,100 annual contribution
$1,100 x 0.69 = $759 CSESAP match
Estimated State Match Calculation:
Multiply 0.69 cents by 10% of your salary OR the dollar amount of your withholding for your estimated state match.
