Applying for CalWORKS (California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids) is a crucial step for individuals and families seeking financial assistance and support services in California. CalWORKS provides cash aid, food assistance through CalFresh, and other benefits to eligible low-income families with children under the age of 19 or children under the age of 21 who are still in high school.
The program aims to help families achieve self-sufficiency by providing temporary financial assistance, promoting job training and placement, and offering supportive services such as childcare, transportation assistance, and counseling. CalWORKS plays a vital role in reducing poverty and improving the well-being of children and families in California.
