rule or regulation adopted
and every all-county
letter issued by the State
Department of Social
Services that adds to the
costs of any program is
approved by the Department
of Finance as to the
availability of funds
before it becomes
effective. In making the
determination as to
availability of funds to
meet the expenditures of a
rule, regulation, or all-
county letter that would
increase the costs of a
program, the Department of
Finance shall consider the
amount of the proposed
increase on an annualized
basis, the effect the
change would have on the
expenditure limitations
for the program set forth
in this act, the extent to
which the rule,
regulation, or all-county
letter constitutes a
deviation from the
premises under which the
expenditure limitations
were prepared, and any
additional factors
relating to the fiscal
integrity of the program
or the state's fiscal
situation.
(b) Notwithstanding Sections
28.00 and 28.50, the
availability of funds
contained in this item for
rules, regulations, or all-
county letters that add to
program costs funded from

of $500,000 on an annual
basis, including those
that are the result of a
federal regulation, but
excluding those that are
(a) specifically required
as a result of the
enactment of a federal or
state law or (b) included
in the appropriation made
by this act, shall not be
approved by the Department
of Finance sooner than 30
days after notification in
writing to the
chairpersons of the
committees in each
house of the Legislature
that consider
appropriations and the
Chairperson of the Joint
Legislative Budget
Committee, or sooner than
such lesser time after
notification as the
chairperson of the joint
committee, or his or her
designee, may in each
instance determine.
2. Notwithstanding Chapter 1
(commencing with Section 18000) of
Part 6 of Division 9 of the
Welfare and Institutions Code, a
loan not to exceed $500,000,000
shall be made available from the
General Fund, from funds not
otherwise appropriated, to cover
the federal share of costs of a
program or programs when the
federal funds have not been

that federal share to the counties
of this state. This loan from the
General Fund shall be repaid when
the federal share of costs for the
program or programs becomes
available.
3. The Department of Finance may
authorize the transfer of amounts

is authorized to approve
expenditures in those
amounts made necessary by
changes in either caseload
or payments, including,
but not limited to, the
timing of federal
payments, or any rule or
regulation adopted and any
all-county letter issued
as a result of the
enactment of a federal or
state law, the adoption of
a federal regulation, or a
court action, during the
2012-13 fiscal year
that are within or in
excess of amounts
appropriated in this act
for that year.
(b) If the Department of
Finance determines that
the estimate of
expenditures will exceed
the expenditures
authorized for this item,
the department shall so
report to the Legislature.
At the time the report is
made, the amount of the
appropriation made in this
item shall be increased by
the amount of the excess
unless and until otherwise
provided by law.
5. Nonfederal funds appropriated in
this item which have been budgeted
to meet the state's Temporary
Assistance for Needy Families
maintenance-of-effort requirement
established pursuant to the
federal Personal
Responsibility and Work
Opportunity Reconciliation Act of
1996 (P.L. 104-193) may not be
expended in any way that would
cause their disqualification as a
federally allowable maintenance-of-
effort expenditure.
6. In the event of declared disaster
and upon county request, the State
Department of Social Services may
act in the place of any county and
assume direct responsibility for
the administration of eligibility
and grant determination. Upon
recommendation of the Director of
Social Services, the Department of
Finance may authorize the transfer
of funds from this item and Item
5180-101-0890, to Items 5180-001-
0001 and 5180-001-0890, for this
purpose.

regulations (Manual of Policies
and Procedures Section 16-401.15),
in the event a county fails to
reimburse the EBT contractor for
settlement of EBT transactions
made against the county's cash
assistance programs, the state is
required to pay the contractor.
The State Department of Social
Services may use funds from this
item to reimburse the EBT
contractor for settlement on
behalf of the county. The county
shall be required to reimburse the
department for the county's
settlement via direct payment or
administrative offset.
8. The Department of Finance is
authorized to approve expenditures
for the California Food
Assistance Program in those
amounts made necessary by changes
in the CalFresh Program Standard
Utility Allowance, including those
that result from midyear Standard
Utility Allowance adjustments
requested by the state. If the
Department of Finance determines
that the estimate of expenditures
will exceed the expenditure
authority of this item, the
department shall so report to the
Legislature. At the time the
report is made, the amount of the
appropriation made in this item
shall be increased by the amount
of the excess unless and until
otherwise provided by law.
SEC. 5. Sections 1 to 4, inclusive, of this act
shall become operative only if Assembly Bill 1464 or Senate Bill 1004
of the 2011-12 Regular Session is enacted as the Budget Act of 2012.
SE C. 6. This act is a Budget Bill
