Summary

The bill changes CalWORKs rules so that when a family has less than $100 in liquid resources and faces an emergency, the county must determine apparent eligibility and can give an immediate $200 advance. It removes the requirement that applicants first apply for unconditionally available income such as unemployment or Social Security. The measure aims to speed help for families facing eviction, food loss, or other urgent needs.
