Durational sanctions have ended! Effective immediately, all adults on CalWORKs sanctions can cure the financial penalty without any specified minimum time limit. (In other words, the minimum 3 to 6 month sanction time no longer exists). The cure process for 1st sanctions, set out in ACL 05-39, will be process for all sanctioned adults now. Counties are to contact all those currently on 3-6 month sanctions to inform them of this, and invite them to contact a worker to cure now. The statute was effective June 12,2006; clients who immediately cure upon being informed of the end of durational sanctions who are not restored to that date should contact Dora or Nu at Western Center, 213-487-7211 x 2337 or 2629.
