I have a car and a bank account. Do I qualify for CalWORKs?

Probably yes.  Families must have under $10,000 in total assets or resources plus a cost-of-living increase. The resource limit increases to $11,684 in 2024.  The limit will be $17,452 for families with at least one person who has a disability or is 60 years old or more. 

 

A family’s car does not count as a resource if it is worth less than $25,000.  There are special rules about cars. 

 

Ther are also some assets that the welfare office does not count them against you.  You should apply to find out if you are eligible.
