  Helps eligible families become self-supporting through temporary cash aid and assistance in finding and keeping a job (Welfare to Work). It is California's Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) Program and provides a number of services, including cash aid, child care, and job search guidance. When receiving CalWORKs cash aid, the family also receives Medi-cal and may be eligible for CalFresh benefits.
  
  Generally, adults can get up to 48 months of cash aid. There are, however, certain circumstances that, if present, enable the adult to be exempted from this time limit. When cash aid stops for the adult family members, money may still be available to help support minor children in the home.
  
  The Welfare to Work Program provides job-preparation services to CalWORKs recipients. Services include job preparation workshops, job-search assistance, employment counselor guidance, and/or job-related education or training. Child care, transportation, and other support services are also provided. The goal is for cash-aid recipients to find a job and eventually achieve self-sufficiency through upward mobility. All able-bodied adult recipients (unless exempt) must participate.
