CONCURRENCE IN SENATE AMENDMENTS
CSA1 Bill Id:AB 121
Author:(Committee on Budget)
As Amended Ver:September 3, 2019
Majority vote. Budget Bill Appropriation Takes Effect Immediately
SUMMARY:
Provides for statutory clean-up changes necessary to enact human services related provisions of the Budget Act of 2019. As part of the 2019-20 budget package, this bill makes statutory changes to implement the budget act.
The Senate Amendments:
- Includes clarifying language to condition recent statutory changes regarding discharging of overpayments to take effect beginning when the Statewide Automated Welfare System (SAWS) can automate those provisions.
- Clarifies that, upon establishing initial or ongoing eligibility for Stage 1 childcare services, a family is considered to meet all eligibility and need requirements and be authorized for not less than 12 months, or until the participant is transferred to the second stage of childcare.
- Requires that the written notice regarding childcare services, including the 12-month continuous eligibility, inform CalWORKs applicants and recipients of the name and contact information for the local childcare resource and referral program to be effective immediately.
- Requires that the written notice, commencing January 1, 2021, or the date that the automation changes occur in the SAWS, whichever date is later, be provided when the recipient reports new or increased participation in a program activity.
- Requires the State Department of Social Services (DSS) to work with counties and other stakeholders to modify applicable CalWORKs notices and forms about childcare to include the new information required to be in the notice and to make the modified notices and forms available at times in addition to the time of application and when an original or amended welfare-to-work plan is signed, such as at the time of orientation, when and where possible and appropriate.
- Authorizes DSS to implement these provisions by all-county letter or similar directive until regulations are adopted.
- Reappropriates the balance of a $43,461,000 appropriation provided in the Budget Act of 2017 to DSS for the Housing and Disability Advocacy Program for the same purpose as the original purpose, and makes those funds available for encumbrance or expenditure until June 30, 2021.
- Specifies that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the California Constitution.
- Designates this act as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Act and that it is identified as such in the Budget Bill, and shall take effect immediately.
