Official statutory text

Any aged, or disabled applicant or recipient who is eligible for assistance under this article, whose disabilities prevent the use of cooking facilities at home, shall be given the option to receive an allowance of forty-nine dollars ($49) per month for an individual and ninety-eight dollars ($98) per month for a married couple in lieu of the appropriate in-home food preparation and consumption services. The allowance under this section shall be in addition to any amount that the applicant or recipient is entitled to under this chapter. This allowance shall not have the effect of exceeding the total cost maximum of Sections 12303.5 and 12304. Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the applicant’s or recipient’s right to receive the allowance under this section and all other homemaker and chore services.

The State Department of Social Services shall adjust the amount of the allowance under this section on July 1, 1984, and each year thereafter to reflect cost-of-living changes subsequent to January 1, 1983, as provided under Section 12303. 5.
