CalWORKs (Cash Aid)
Are you struggling to provide the basic necessities for your family? The CalWORKs (California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids) program provides temporary cash assistance to families with children to help pay for necessities like clothing, housing, and food.
The amount of cash aid a family may be eligible to receive depends on several factors, such as the family’s size, income, and any special needs of family members.
Do you have any physical, mental, or emotional conditions that make it hard for you to apply for benefits or meet program requirements? We can give extra help. We call this type of help a reasonable accommodation. The law protects people with physical, mental, and developmental disabilities as well as others with serious health problems (42 U.S.C. § 12132). For more information, contact your worker. You can reach the Civil Rights Coordinator at TCCivilRights@tularecounty.ca.gov or (559) 624-8078 as well as visit https://tchhsa.org/eng/human-services/civil-rights1/.
