In upcoming posts, we plan to examine whether and how the CalWORKs take-up rate varies among different regions in the state and explore reasons for those differences. Consequently, we must make several simplifying assumptions to estimate the number of CalWORKs-eligible families. Compared to estimates included in the June budget plan, our November estimates assume a higher cost per case and caseload in Stage 1, a lower cost per case and caseload in Stage 2, and a lower cost per case but higher caseload in Stage 3. We estimate that, in 2019, about 605,000 families were eligible for CalWORKs while about 365,000 were enrolled, for an estimated CalWORKs take-up rate of 60percent. 1 0 obj Stage Three is also administered by CDSS. (As larger cohorts of Stage 1 families move through the subsequent stages of care, we expect Stages 2 and 3 caseload to increase too.) If a recession were to occur during the next year or two, the effect on caseload and cost is even more uncertain given the state does not yet know the precise impact of its new Stage 1 policies. Alternatively, costs could increase if more families receive child care or stay on Stage 1 for longer than they do today. Because benefit levels did not increase at the same pace as the eligibility threshold, these newly eligible families may have seen little benefit to enroll in the program, potentially explaining the lower take-up rate to an extent. (For example, a family of three earning $1,400 a month would be newly eligible for CalWORKs in July 2019, but would only receive a monthly benefit of about $250.). This committee is to provide its recommendations to the Department of Finance by November 15, 2022, to inform the Governors 2023-24 budget proposal. CalWORKs child care caseload and costs could differ from our estimates were a recession to occur during the outlook period. Once CalWORKs families become stable (as determined by the county welfare department), they move into Stage 2. For Stage 1, we adjust the 201819 cost per case to account for the recent policy change that allows all Stage 1 families to receive child care on a full-time basis.

Child care pay rates in particular have been a sticking point . We will continue to monitor the effect of these policies and incorporate them into our future cost estimates as better data becomes available. | Our outlook assumes higher program costs would be covered from the state General Fund, with the program assumed to receive the same level of annual federal funding in 201920 through 202223. Below, we describe our simplifying assumptions. The 2021-22 California Spending Plan Child Care and Preschool Provides $8.7 Billion for Child Care and Preschool Programs.

At initial Compared to other states, California historically signed up a relatively small share of families eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (a federal program that helps low-income individuals purchase groceries, known locally as CalFresh). The local Child Care Resource and Referral agencies also assist potential child care providers in the licensing process including training for providers. Costs could potentially decrease since counties would not be able to use unspent child care funds for other purposes. For Stage 1 child care, the state provides the Department of Social Services an appropriation for the county single allocation block grant. The state does not track how many families are eligible for CalWORKs but not enrolled.

CalWORKs is an entitlement program, meaning all families that qualify for the program can receive assistance. These augmentations are shown in Figure2. Likely Higher Costs Due to Recently Enacted Collective Bargaining Legislation.

In fact, most CalWORKs recipients (a little over 80percent) are children, and most CalWORKs families (about 55percent) include no adult recipients (meaning parents are excluded from aid due to their immigration status, lifetime benefit limits, or for other reasons). Most notably, the budget provides an additional 74 positions and $9.8million General Fund for DSS as part of the transition of most child care programs from CDE. Each Stage has its own separate funding to pay for child care for the families within that stage. We think the legislation likely will not affect program costs in the budget year, as some time will be needed for providers to organize and undertake required procedural steps. 0000002736 00000 n 7 0 obj More recently, the state allocated $2million in 201617 and 201718 to improve awareness and take-up of the California Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC), which provides money to low-income workers. They can continue receiving Stage 3 subsidized care until their income exceeds 85percent of the state median income (SMI) or their child ages out of the program (turns 13 years old). For CalWORKs in particular, an improved understanding of the take-up rate could improve caseload forecasting and help the state mitigate the ongoing economic effects of COVID-19. That amount is then compared to the Minimum Basic Standard of Adequate Care (MBSAC) level for the family size. More detail on the Proposition98 preschool and Transitional Kindergarten augmentations are described in the Proposition98 and K-12 Education spending plan post. The Child Care Resource and Referral also have a toll free telephone number.
