WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE
SECTION 10100-10103
10100. It is the intent of the Legislature that counties shall continue to provide matching funds for county-administered social services programs as these programs are defined by Sections 12251 and 16501 and other services to be provided in accordance with Section 10102. Nothing in this section shall be construed to affect any matching requirement established upon each county pursuant to Section 12306. 10101. (a) For the 1991-92 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the state's share of the costs of the child welfare program shall be 70 percent of the actual nonfederal expenditures for the program or the amount appropriated by the Legislature for that purpose, whichever is less. (b) Federal funds received under Title 20 of the federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1397 et seq.) and appropriated by the Legislature for child welfare services shall be considered part of the state share of cost and not part of the federal expenditures for this program. (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the amount of funds appropriated from the General Fund in the annual Budget Act that equates to the amount claimed under the Emergency Assistance Program that has been included in the state's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families block grant for child welfare services shall be considered federal funds for the purposes of calculating the county's share of cost, provided the expenditure of these funds contributes to the state meeting its federal maintenance of effort requirements. 10101.1. (a) For the 1991-92 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the state's share of the costs of the county services block grant and the in-home supportive services administration requirements shall be 70 percent of the actual nonfederal expenditures or the amount appropriated by the Legislature for that purpose, whichever is less. (b) Federal funds received under Title 20 of the federal Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Sec. 1397 et seq.) and appropriated by the Legislature for the county services block grant and the in-home supportive services administration shall be considered part of the state share of cost and not part of the federal expenditures for this purpose. 10101.2. The state's share of the costs for the support and care of former dependent children who have been made wards of related guardians under Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 11360), or Article 4.7 (commencing with Section 11385), of Chapter 2 of Part 3, shall be 79 percent of the nonfederal share of the amounts as specified in Sections 11364 and 11387. 10102. The State Department of Social Services shall establish and maintain a plan whereby costs of county administered social services programs will be effectively controlled within the amount annually appropriated for these services. Each county shall utilize least cost services, provided that the quality of services is maintained. Allocations shall be made to each county and shall be limited by, and determined based upon, an allocation plan developed by the State Department of Social Services and approved by the Department of Finance. In administering the plan, the State Department of Social Services shall not allocate funds to cover county cost overruns which result from county failure to meet requirements of the plan. 10103. All federal funds under Title IV-B of the Social Security Act, which are appropriated to the state shall be passed on to the counties, except for those reasonable funds needed to finance a required statewide foster care management information system. In passing on federal funds to the counties, the state shall not require counties to provide matching funds in amounts greater than the amount required of the state by the federal government.
