AI Summary

  • Requires county human services agencies to first check the California Immunization Registry to verify children in CalWORKs assistance units have received age-appropriate immunizations, effective July 1, 2019.

  • Only if the county cannot verify immunizations through the registry shall applicants or recipients be required to submit documentation themselves.

  • Requires counties to provide written notice to applicants and recipients of their obligation to submit immunization documentation, including information on how to obtain free immunizations and that Medi-Cal covers nonmedical transportation for immunization services.

  • If documentation is not secured within 45 days of eligibility determination or redetermination, counties must send another notice; applicants are deemed compliant once documentation is obtained or good cause (homelessness, domestic violence, lack of transportation, etc.) is determined.

  • Clarifies that no continuous appropriation of state General Fund moneys shall be made to implement this act, though reimbursement to counties for state-mandated costs may be available.
