AB 1755: CalWORKS.
What AB 1755 does, verified August 19, 2026
This bill would amend the law related to California's CalWORKs program. The changes would allow a child to be considered deprived of parental support or care if the parent is not working at all, regardless of the number of hours they work. This would make more families eligible for the program, but it would also require the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for the costs of implementing this change.
