§ 15152 County Public Assistance Funding

• •The state gives extra money to counties to help with public assistance programs.
• •The extra money is based on how much the county already spends on these programs.
• •The county must use this extra money only for public assistance, like helping people in need.
• •The state takes out any money already given to the county under another rule before calculating this extra amount.

If a county spends $1,000,000 on helping poor families, and the state says it will give 20% of that as extra help, the county gets more money.

The state checks how much the county spent, takes out any money already given, and then gives a part of what’s left as extra help. The county must use this extra money only for helping people.
