AB 2061, as introduced, Chau. Public social services: policies.
Existing law provides for public social service programs, including the CalWORKs program, the Medi-Cal Program, the State Supplementary Program for the Aged, Blind, and Disabled, and CalFresh. Existing law also provides that the value of free temporary board and lodging given to a program recipient shall be considered income only after the first month and to the extent the value exceeds the continuing cost of maintaining the recipient’s home.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
