DPSS ePolicy

Welcome to ePolicy for the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids, also known as CalWORKs program!

CalWORKs provides temporary financial assistance and employment-focused services to families with minor children whose income and property are below State maximum limits for their family size. In California, cash aid is restricted to a five-year lifetime limit for most aided adults, which includes aid received in other States; however, aid continues for the eligible children. CalWORKs customers who become employed and whose income from earnings exceeds the amount allowed to continue receiving cash assistance may continue to receive ongoing CalFresh benefits, Medi-Cal coverage, and child care and transportation services.
