WIC § 15204.4 Effective Jan 1, 2012Div. 9 · Part 3 · Ch. 9 · Art. 5

Statute text

In addition to the funds received under Section 15204.2, counties shall be required to expend money from their own funds, either from the county’s general fund or from the social services account of the county health and welfare trust fund to support administration of programs providing services to needy families. Each county shall expend an amount for these programs that, when combined with funds expended under Section 18906.5 for administration of CalFresh, equals or exceeds the amount spent by that county for corresponding activities during the 1996–97 fiscal year. Failure to meet this required level of spending shall result in a proportionate reduction of the funds provided under Section 15204.2. In those cases the Director of Social Services shall report to the Legislature within 30 days his or her findings relative to the ability of the county, with reduced funds, to meet its obligations in administering the affected programs. The report shall include any relevant information related to the performance of the county.
