California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) facilitates California's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program.

Temporary Financial Assistance

CalWORKs is a temporary financial assistance program for low- or no- income families with children. It can help all kinds of families who have fallen on hard times due to a variety of issues such as fleeing domestic violence, illness or death of an income earner, substance use, child behavior or developmental challenges, homelessness, legal or criminal record constraints, or job loss.

Employment Services

CalWORKs financial assistance is available to children regardless of whether their parents choose to participate in Employment Services. If you participate in Employment Services, you may be eligible to receive CalWORKs cash assistance for yourself, in addition to support with expenses related to your job or education. As an Employment Services participant, you will receive support in identifying and working towards career and/or education goals.
