Program Description
The Colorado Works Program serves low-income families with children
by providing income assistance and supportive services to help participants
become and remain self-sufficient. Colorado Works is the new program that
replaced the AFDC and JOBS programs. Benefits may be provided for single and
two parent families, pregnant women, and relatives caring for minor
children. Colorado Works benefits are available to parents with children who
are working or involved in a work preparedness activity.
