What AB 1074 does, verified March 9, 2026

This bill makes technical changes to the provisions regarding a parent's eligibility to receive aid as if the child or children were living with them. It specifies that these provisions do not require all children to be removed from the parent or parents or that, at the time of removal, the needs of the parent or parents were included in the grant. The bill also authorizes the provision of aid and childcare services to parents, making these provisions operative on July 1, 2026. The bill prohibits the implementation of these provisions from resulting in a retroactive payment or underpayment. Additionally, it exempts families participating in a reunification case plan from specified immunization requirements. The bill also modifies the requirements for welfare-to-work activities and expands county responsibilities under the program.
