When DCFS detains the children who are part of a CalWORKs family, will the parent still qualify for cash assistance as they go through the reunification process?

0

Because CalWORKs is for families with minor children, the cash assistance will stop. However, if the parent would otherwise be eligible, he/she may be able to access supportive services through the GAIN program, such as mental health treatment, domestic violence services and substance abuse treatment. They may also qualify for the adult only cash assistance program known as General Relief. NOTE: If the parent exhausted their CalWORKs 60-month time limit (received 60 months of cash aid for him/herself), they are not eligible for General Relief. 8. Does DPSS have any programs to help DCFS families who may be homeless or at risk of becoming homeless? Yes. DPSS has an array of Homeless Assistance (HA) programs: temporary shelter with financial assistance to stay at a motel for 16 consecutive days; permanent HA for helping move clients in to a fixed residence; moving assistance; Emergency Assistance to Prevent Eviction (EAPE); and a number of others. 9.
