§ 18472 County Relief Budget Limits

• •The state sets a minimum and maximum amount of money each county can give to people who need help.
• •Counties can decide their own rules within that money range.
• •The money given must be enough to cover basic needs like food and shelter.

A family loses their job and needs help paying for food and rent.

The state says the county must give them enough money to live on, but the county decides exactly how much within the state's rules.
