California AB1755 modifies CalWORKS by defining "unemployed parent" and allowing continued assistance for unemployed parents.

California AB1755 amends CalWORKS by defining "unemployed parent" as a natural or adoptive parent living with the child. It allows continued assistance for families with unemployed parents, regardless of the number of hours worked, if they meet income limits. The department can use all-county letters to implement this change until regulations are adopted. The changes become effective on July 1, 2027, or when the Statewide Automated Welfare System is ready, whichever is later.
