Taking action to ensure that California’s most vulnerable residents can continue to receive health care, food assistance and in-home supportive services in a timely manner during the COVID-19 outbreak, Governor Gavin Newsom issued an executive order today to extend the eligibility period for important safety net services.
“These social safety net programs are so important for families — especially during this crisis,” said Governor Newsom. “We don’t want Californians who rely on these services to lose them.”
The order waives eligibility re-determinations for 90 days for Californians who participate in:
- Medi-Cal health coverage
- CalFresh food assistance
- CalWORKS
- Cash Assistance for Immigrants; and
- In-Home Supportive Services
The change will allow current recipients of these safety net programs to continue receiving them without interruption.
The executive order also waives certain provisions of the Bagley-Keene Act.

‘Cash Assistance for Immigrants.’ Love that one. I’ll bet not one taxpayer in 10,000 even knows what this program is. I don’t, but strongly suspect some of my taxes are going there.
What is really rad is the City of SB sent me info on a small business seminar via email at 9:23 pm. The seminar started at 4:00pm, just a tad late to the party. Could of really used that as my business will be ending after 30 years if this continues another 2 weeks.
JQB thanks for the explanation. A lot of the terms are still very vague, but I get the picture.
