- Families participating in a county child welfare reunification case plan are exempt from CalWORKs immunization requirements and welfare-to-work activity requirements
- Child welfare case plans can serve as CalWORKs family reunification plans, satisfying welfare-to-work plan requirements without needing separate documentation
- Child support payments received by CalWORKs applicants or recipients will not count as income for eligibility purposes, and fully state-funded recipients in reunification cases are not required to assign child support rights to the county
