RESPONSIBILITY TO KIDS
The federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
block grant program is authorized under Title IV of the Social
Security Act. It replaced the Aid to Families with Dependent
Children (AFDC) entitlement program, among others. In
California, TANF requirements are administered under Division
9, Part 3, Chapter 2 of the Welfare and lnstitutions Code, as the
California Work Opportunities and Responsibility to Kids
(CaIWORKs) program. The CaIWORKs program provides
temporary financial support and supportive services to eligible
adults with children to enable them to transition from welfare
to work and to achieve economic self-sufficiency. This chart
reflects the average number of persons aided each month by
fiscal year.
INDIGENT AID

counties, is defined by Section 17000 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code. The Indigent Aid program provides financial
assistance to indigents who are ineligible for other State and
federal assistance programs. This program also provides
emergency assistance to individuals and families in temporary
need. This chart reflects the average number of persons aided
each month by fiscal year.
