Project: CalWORKs Sanction Patterns in Four Counties: An Analysis of Administrative Data
California policymakers are seeking information on how counties are administering welfare sanctions―the procedures by which the state and county welfare agencies penalize low-income adults with children when they fail to comply with various CalWORKs program requirements. In this Briefing Paper, we list policymakers’ key questions and the aspects of each addressed by our study on CalWORKs sanctions in Alameda, Fresno, Kern, and San Diego counties.
