Bill Summary
An act to amend and repeal Section 18930 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to public social services.
AI Summary
This bill would delete the contingency that the California Food Assistance Program (CFAP) be subject to the Statewide Automated Welfare System (SAWS) update and appropriation in the annual Budget Act. It would remove the age limitation and make any individual eligible for CFAP if their immigration status is the sole basis for their ineligibility for CalFresh benefits (California's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). By extending eligibility for CFAP, which is administered by the counties, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program, for which the state would need to provide reimbursement to local agencies and school districts if the Commission on State Mandates determines there are costs mandated by the state.
