Effective February 1, 1999, MPP§ 63-411 was adopted. That section was entitled "CFAP Work Requirements".

The CFAP work requirements in effect as of February 1, 1999 among other things, mandated that a person who did not receive CalWORKs must work in subsidized or unsubsidized employment for the minimum number of hours that was required of CalWORKs recipients as set out in MPP§ 42-711.4. In order to be exempt from CFAP work requirements, the non-CalWORKs CFAP recipient had to be disabled, sixty years old or older, under age 16, or ages 16,17 or 18 and attending primary or secondary, vocational or technical school full time.

AB 1111, which became effective August 1, 1999, amended the work requirement for CFAP recipients who do not receive CalWORKs. Non-CalWORKs CFAP recipients must now meet the food stamp requirement established for Able Bodied Adults Without Dependents (ABAWDs). Thus with the implementation of the new CFAP work requirement, persons aged 50 to 59 who were not CalWORKs recipients are no longer required to meet the CFAP work requirement because they meet an ABAWD work exemption. Those aged 18 to 49 now have to meet the ABAWD work requirement which is an average of 20 hours weekly instead of 32 hours weekly in effect prior to August 1.

Recipients are now also subject to food stamp requirements such as sanctions for not meeting work requirements and to sanctions for voluntary quits. Former MPP §63-411.33 had stated that CFAP recipients were not subject to ABAWD, sanctions or voluntary quits.

This ACL supercedes MPP §63-411 except for MPP §63-411.11 and .21. Those two subsections dealing with CFAP recipients who also receive CalWORKs remain in effect.
