CalWORKs eligibility is based on:
- Children in the household: There is one or more children under age 19 in the home, or if you are pregnant. You do not need to be a U.S. citizen to apply.
- Income and household needs: Family size, income, property, other resources, and special needs.
- Welfare-to-Work participation: In most cases, all family members on CalWORKs who are 18 or older participate in the Welfare-to-Work employment services program. We will help you create an individualized plan to succeed in work, training, school, or other activities.
