DO not get calsavers if you're low income!!!! Which is ironic since the state designed it for low income residents. The concept is great, but the state did not prepare any of the other state benefit agencies for calsavers. If you get calsavers, you will lose your housing, your foodstamps, and medi-cal. The issues that arise are that, for instance, SHRA section 8 requires monthly statements on everything which calsavers does not provide which means if you can't provide a month to month statement they will deny your benefits. Also, has you save money, you will hit a threshold of saved money that many of these programs will start to consider you wealthier than you actually are. Denying you benefits. This is a horrid situation for a program that's forcing companies to offer low income workers, I would recommend NOONE get this until the state figures out how this affects other programs low income workers rely on. DONT GET IT!!
