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.
