If I find a job, how will it affect my benefits?
Securing employment may affect CalWORKs and CalFresh benefits by reducing the grant amount, depending on the type of employment and amount of income. The combined income from employment and benefits is always greater than the amount of cash in benefits alone, and provides more financial freedom. If earnings are above the income reporting threshold for your sized family, you will be self-sufficient and off cash assistance. You may still be eligible to some supportive services after your cash aid discontinues.
