Because benefit levels did not increase at the same pace as the eligibility threshold, these newly eligible families may have seen little benefit to enroll in the program, potentially explaining the lower take-up rate to an extent. After the Great Recession, however, the take-up rate fell to around 65percent as the CalWORKs caseload increased at a slower pace than the increase in the number of CalWORKs-eligible families. Currently, the state links the RMR to the 75th percentile of rates reported on the 2016 survey. Of total CalWORKs child care funding, 56percent is from the state General Fund and 44percent is from federal fund sources (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and the Child Care and Development Fund).
