Notes from the Training Bureau - October 17, 2003

Assembly Bill 1752 provides that when a household loses CalWORKs assistance the household may receive food stamps for up to five months. Benefits would be in the same amount received by the household prior to the termination from CalWORKs, adjusted for loss of the CalWORKs grant. A household that loses CalWORKs due to a sanction or was otherwise disqualified from the food stamp program is not eligible for this extension.

This transitional benefit must be implemented by January 1, 2004. W&IC §18901.6 establishes this new benefit and a copy of this statute is attached to this ACIN.
