The 2025-26 Budget: CalWORKs

Feb 19, 2025 - As displayed earlier in Figure  2, the administration proposes spending about $671  million in TANF carry forward in 2024-25 and about $110  million in TANF carry forward in 2025-26. The higher amount of TANF carry forward in 2024-25 (as compared to 2025-26) likely reflects the expenditure of many of the remaining unspent TANF funds accumulated during and immediately following the COVID-19 pandemic.
