Existing state law provides that, for the purposes of determining eligibility, certain postsecondary educational programs, as determined by
the State Department of Social Services, are considered employment training programs, thereby qualifying a student participating in one of those programs for an exemption, unless prohibited by federal law.
This bill would require a program that meets the eligibility standards established by the department for CalFresh local educational programs that increase employability at a campus of the California State University, the California Community College, vocational school, or graduate school, and would request each campus of the University of California, to submit an application for certification to the department on or before June 1, 2022. To the extent that this provision would impose new duties on community college districts to submit an application for certification to the department, it would constitute a state-mandated local program.
A program that meets the eligibility standards established by the State Department of Social Services for CalFresh local educational programs that increase employability at a campus of the California State University, the California Community College, vocational school, or graduate school shall, and each campus of the University of California is requested to, submit a certification application to the department on or before June 1, 2022.
If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.
