In collaboration with CalKIDS, we are hosting an educational webinar on the new statewide children’s savings program, CalKIDS! On April 26, we will go over what the children’s savings account program is, who is eligible for this program, how to register and get started, a Q&A panel discussion, and more! This event is free to attend, and registration is required.
NASW-CA is committed to supporting social workers and the communities they serve in accessing resources and navigating our complex social service system. We encourage social workers and social services professionals to support clients and consumers in understanding these services and, when eligible, applying for resources.
About CalKIDS:
CalKIDS is the long-awaited children’s savings account program that offers all newborns and eligible low-income public school students in California between $25 and $1,500 to start saving for college and career training. Families are encouraged to build on this investment by opening and contributing to a ScholarShare 529 account of their own and see their college savings balances all in one place.
The program provides the following incentives:
Up to $1,500 for 3.4 Million School-Age Children:
Up to $100 for Newborn Children:
