May Revise FY 2012-13 Update

On May 14, 2012, Governor Brown released his 2012-13 State Budget May Revision.  The Governor estimates a State deficit of $15.7 billion State General Fund statewide rather than the $9.2 billion reported in January.  The Budget May Revision continues to propose major restructuring of the CalWORKs program as well as other deep cuts to our programs, mainly in the area of benefits issued to our participants/consumers.  These proposed cuts and adjustments would have a direct impact on a large number of families and individuals we serve.  Below are the documents that are related to the May Revise.
