-
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.
-
