Instead of paying the actual relocation expenses of individuals and families, the agency may pay fixed amounts in accordance with an approved schedule of fixed amounts. The schedule shall be of statewide application and shall provide for a graduated scale related to the size of the quarters occupied or some other uniform equitable method of scaling the payments. The schedule shall indicate whether the individuals and families are entitled only to fixed amounts or are entitled to claim reimbursement for their actual moving expenses or fixed amounts at their election. (Added 1985, No. 269 (Adj. Sess.), § 1.)
