ACL 12-60: End Of The FY 2011-12 Cal-Learn Suspension (10/31/12)

CalLearn restoration details.  The suspension of the CalLearn program ended 7/1/12, but counties have until April 1, 2013 to restore their programs. Until the county Cal-Learn program is achieved, the county must continue to use the Welfare-to-Work (WTW) Teen Parent rules (including imposition of sanctions).  (See ACLs 11-36 and 11-60). The one exception: beginning July 1, 2012 a pregnant teen with no high school diploma or equivalent and no other children may qualify for aid and services in the first or second trimester of her pregnancy, even if the county has not restored Cal-Learn.  The letter includes instructions on how to handle former CalLearn participants, and those subject to the teen WTW rules during the suspension.  Teens will not have to wait 90 days for bonuses.
