Existing law requires the Office of Technology and Solutions Integration within the California Health and Human Services Agency to implement a statewide automated welfare system, known as the California Statewide Automated Welfare System (CalSAWS) , for various public assistance programs, including the CalWORKs program, CalFresh, and the Medi-Cal program. Existing law requires, to the extent possible within the technology, the development of the CalSAWS enrollment and eligibility functionality, case management systems, ancillary services, public portals, and mobile applications to have the goals of minimizing the burden of the overall eligibility process for enrollment and retention of benefits for low-income Californians, streamlining interactions for both clients and eligibility workers, and facilitating applicant and client submission of feedback.
This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision.
