It is necessary to use an “Acknowledgement of Limited Sharing of Information for the Administration of the CalWORKs Program” (SCD 103). This acknowledgment advises our client that we may share limited information about them and/or the persons for whom they receive CalWORKs benefits. The information shared is directly connected to the administration of the CalWORKs program and eligibility to services or benefits provided by community partners.

“Appraisal Questionnaire” (SCD 1772)

The CWES worker will use the “Appraisal Questionnaire” (SCD 1772) to determine the appropriate WTW activity in which the client must participate.

“Welfare to Work Activity Agreement” (WTW 2)

The CWES “Welfare to Work Plan Activity Agreement” (WTW 2) is an agreement between Employment Services and the client for a WTW plan. The Activity Agreement specifies the WTW plan in which a client must engage and the supportive services that will be provided to the client.
