Description: In order to increase work participation and achieve budgetary savings, the Governor proposes a series policy changes for the CalWORKs program. These are (1) a graduated full-family sanction that increases to 100 percent of the grant after one year in sanction status, (2) a five-year time limit on children whose parents cannot meet federal work participation requirements, (3) a nutritional supplement for working poor families, and (4) a five-year time limit for other child-only cases. We review the Governor’s proposals and comment on them.
