Attached is a budget memo from the County Welfare Directors Association, the Service Employees International Union, the California State Association of Counties, the Urban Counties of California, and the Rural County Representatives of California.

This memo serves as our response to the CalWORKs-related proposals in the May Revision. We continue to urge the rightsizing of the CalWORKs Single Allocation. Specifically, we request a one-time investment of $245 million in FY 2025-26 and a long-overdue update to the administrative budget methodology beginning in FY 2026-27.
