CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2021–2022 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 2393

---

Introduced by Assembly Member Mayes

February 17, 2022

---

An act to repeal and add Section 11346 of the Welfare and Institutions Code, relating to CalWORKs.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2393, as introduced, Mayes. CalWORKs Educational Opportunity and Attainment Program.

Existing law establishes the California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program, under which each county provides cash assistance and other benefits to qualified low-income families using federal, state, and county funds. Existing law creates the CalWORKs Educational Opportunity and Attainment Program to provide CalWORKs recipients with a one-time $500 education incentive award for the completion of a high school diploma or its equivalent and a one-time $1,000 education stipend for enrollment in an education or training program leading to a career technical education program certificate, an associate’s degree, or a bachelor’s degree.

This bill would provide that the provisions of the program do not prevent the education incentive award or education stipend from being issued as a tax credit if established under the Revenue and Taxation Code.
