The Pace of CalWORKs Implementation

Abstract

In response to national welfare reform legislation--the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act (PRWORA), which was signed in August 1996 and went into effect in January 1997--California passed legislation that replaced the existing Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and Greater Avenues to Independence (GAIN) with the California Work Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKs) program. Following an open and competitive bidding process, the California Department of Social Services (CDSS), which administers CalWORKs, awarded a contract to evaluate the CalWORKs program to RAND.
