There is hereby created in the State Treasury the California Individual and Family Supplemental Grant Fund. Moneys in the fund shall be available to pay claims from individuals and families for losses or damages occurring during the incident period of a Presidential disaster declaration for individual assistance. Any moneys appropriated to the fund by the Legislature shall be allocated to the State Department of Social Services to provide supplemental individual and family grant assistance for unmet needs. The funds shall not be used to fulfill matching fund requirements for federal disaster assistance, but shall be used to supplement the federal assistance to individuals and households program under Section 5174 of Title 42 of the United States Code. Notwithstanding Section 13340 of the Government Code, moneys in this fund are continuously appropriated, without regard to fiscal years, for the purpose of making grants pursuant to this chapter.
(Amended by Stats. 2002, Ch. 350, Sec. 6. Effective January 1, 2003.)
