CalWORKs Employment Services (CWES) Sanctions
CWES Program Requirements
[EAS 42-721]
Any client aided in a CalWORKs AU must cooperate with the CWES WTW requirements unless they are exempt. CWES will give the client several opportunities to cooperate and utilize the numerous supportive services available. CWES will work with the client to develop a WTW plan. When a client fails or refuses to cooperate with CWES, the client will be financially sanctioned if good cause does not exist.
Failing or refusing to comply with WTW requirements means failing or refusing to take any of the following actions:
- Sign a WTW Plan
- Participate in any assigned program activity, including a self-initiated program (SIP)
- Provide required proof of making satisfactory progress in any assigned program activity, including a SIP
- Accept employment
- Continue employment, or
- Continue employment at the same level of earnings.
Note: CWES work requirements do not apply when the client is not included in the AU.
