What is CalWORKs? California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids is a federally mandated program designed to assist parents receiving Temporary Aid to Needy Families (TANF).
Who is Eligible? Any student that is currently receiving adult cash aid (TANF) and is in good standing, who has, or who is developing, a Welfare-to-Work Plan with the Department of Human Services.
