2 quick questions!

Okay so I'm a little confused on the benefits of the Act in California, I know of some but I also want to know if:

1. Does the dream act grant a person a work permit in California?

2. On average how long does it take to find out if you were accepted or denied?

Sorry if these questions have been asked before. I am asking about the act in California.

What are you referring to? Act in California?

1)The dream act has not been approved at all
2) no time limit since no Dream Act has been approved

Yes sorry, I thought since I posted "in California" it would be clear.

Dream Act in California will not grant you a work permit. that's what i do know for sure.

State dream acts are not for work permits, theyre for school

So can someone answer how is someone supposed to pay for college IF they can't work?

I think you are asking the wrong questions.
CA Dream Act: The California Dream Act of 2011, authored by Assembly Member Gil Cedillo (Los Angeles), became law through the passage of two Assembly Bills, AB 130 and AB 131.

AB 130 allows students who meet AB 540 criteria (California Education Code 68130.5(a)) to apply for and receive non-state funded scholarships for public colleges and universities.

AB 131 allows students who meet AB 540 criteria to apply for and receive state-funded financial aid such as institutional grants, community college fee waivers, Cal Grant and Chafee Grant.

Then there is DACA which will give you a work permit and allow you to get a drivers license or CA ID.

If you go to a community college in California you could apply for the BOG fee waiver.

Or you could apply for the California Dream Act.
