an appropriation. No money shall be available for expenditure under
this chapter until an appropriation for that purpose is made by the
Legislature.
Any money appropriated to carry out the purposes of this chapter
shall be deposited in, and disbursed from, the Relief Fund in the
State Treasury, which fund is continued in existence.
18521. (a) Until the rate of county expenditure for the direct and
administrative costs of welfare activities under this chapter
exceeds, on a fiscal year basis determined not less frequently than
quarterly, eight one-hundredths of 1 percent (.08%) of the total
assessed valuation of the property subject to county taxation, the
state shall not participate in the expenditure.
(b) With respect to county funds expended at a rate exceeding
eight one-hundredths of 1 percent (.08%) of the total assessed
valuation of the property subject to county taxation, but not
exceeding twelve one-hundredths of 1 percent (.12%) thereof, the

expenditures.
(c) With respect to county funds expended at a rate exceeding
twelve one-hundredths of 1 percent (.12%) of the total assessed

available by the United States government for either direct costs or
administrative costs of welfare activities under this chapter, or
both, the State Treasurer shall transfer the sums so granted to the
Relief Fund. Of such sums, there shall be credited to the state an
amount which bears the same proportion to the total of the sums so
granted that the total state expenditure under this chapter during
the period for which the grants are made bears to the total of both
state and county expenditures under this chapter during that period.
The remainder of such sums shall be credited to the counties of the
state, and the State Treasurer shall pay to each county therefrom an
amount which bears the same proportion to the whole of such remainder
that the county funds expended by that county under this chapter
during the period bears to the total of all county funds expended by
all counties under this chapter during the period.
18523. The method of computing and paying the amounts provided for
in Sections 18521 and 18522 for each quarter shall be as follows:
(a) The department shall, prior to the beginning of each quarter,
estimate the amount to be paid for such quarter to each county under
the provisions of Sections 18521 and 18522, such estimate to be based
on a report filed by each county containing (1) its estimate of the
total sum to be expended in such quarter in accordance with the
provisions of this chapter; (2) records showing the number of
individuals (cases) estimated to be in need of relief during the
ensuing quarter; and (3) such other information and investigation as
the department may find necessary.
(b) The department shall then certify to the State Controller the
amounts so estimated by it for each county, reduced or increased as
the case may be, by any sum by which it finds that its estimate for
any prior quarter was greater or less than the amount which should
have been paid to the county under this chapter for such quarter.
(c) The State Controller shall thereupon draw the necessary
warrants, and prior to audit or settlement by the department and the
State Controller, the State Treasurer shall pay to the treasurer of
each county the amount so certified.
Upon the order of the department, the amount approved for the
quarter may be paid in monthly installments and, if paid in monthly
installments, all necessary adjustments for the prior quarters shall
be made by additions or deductions from the allowance for the first
month of each new quarter or in the manner prescribed by the
department.
18524. Reports of payments of relief and of payments for the cost
of administration thereof made under this chapter shall be presented
by the respective counties at times and in the form prescribed by the

the county as a credit to apply against advances made under the terms
of Section 18523.
