The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) has issued directions regarding AB 2030. AB 2030 requires CDSS to include in any amendments or revisions to standard application or semi-annual reporting forms after January 1, 2019 that allow applicants or recipients to disclose disabilities, the need for reasonable accommodations because of a disability and any experiences of domestic violence.
CDSS states that initial application forms and semiannual report will capture the need for reasonable accommodations the next time they are revised.
The current welfare computer system vary in how they flag reasonable accommodations. CalWIN has an icon for disability accommodations that is displayed in the upper-right side of the “Display Individual Demographics Summary” window. CalACES North (formerly known as C-IV) can flag cases with an indicator type that county users can select (special accommodations, special circumstances etc.) CalACES South (formerly known as LRS) allows any county user with access to falg a case to alert the first point of contact. These flags are identified by a banner at the top of every page. (ACL 19-13, February 21, 2019.)
