CA SB926

Prohibits CalWORKs sanctions if work hours are unpredictable or scheduled hours exhibit a pattern preventing recipients from anticipating compliance with program requirements, or if recipients provide documentation of these conditions.

Prohibits CalWORKs sanctions if recipients self-certify violations of the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act of 2014, New Parent Leave Act, Wage Theft Prevention Act of 2011, Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, sexual harassment, or other abusive conduct at the workplace.

Requires county human services agencies to provide applicants and recipients with information about workplace rights and how to file complaints with the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement and Department of Fair Employment and Housing when they report refusing employment offers, reducing hours, quitting, or being discharged.

Establishes "good cause" for CalFresh work requirement violations if applicants or recipients voluntarily quit or reduce hours based on reasons that exempt CalWORKs recipients from sanctions, or if scheduled work hours were too unpredictable to anticipate monthly income.

Authorizes the State Department of Social Services to implement the act through an all-county letter until regulations are adopted by October 1, 2020, and permits applicants and recipients to self-certify under penalty of perjury that their circumstances qualify for exemptions or relief from sanctions.
