County calworks programme introduction / application information
CalWORKs is a program that gives temporary cash aid to help families meet basic needs while they work toward becoming self-sufficient. If you are able to work, you will usually need to take part in job-related activities. The program can also help with things like education, job training, and other services to support your family's long-term stability.
