Statute text

In determining eligibility of any individual for the state supplementary payment administered by the federal government, in addition to any other income or resources disregarded by the secretary, the following additional amounts of income or resources of the individual shall be disregarded:

(a)Funds for readers, or educational scholarships, or both, which are not available to meet basic needs and which have been awarded by a high school, college, or university or a vocational or technical training institution to any recipient of aid to the aged, blind or disabled under this chapter due to his or her blindness while he or she is regularly attending any public school in this state, the University of California, or any other institution of higher learning in this state, shall not be deemed property, income, or resource of the recipient for any purpose and no deduction therefor shall be made from the recipient’s amount of aid.

(b)The value and the occupancy value of the home owned by the aged, blind or disabled individual or in combination with any other person if it serves to provide him or her with a home. In the event that this subdivision is in conflict with federal regulations pertaining to the value of such home, federal law shall supersede this subdivision with the respect to the value of such home. Persons who would otherwise be eligible under this chapter except for the value of their home, shall nevertheless be entitled to grants under this chapter at the same level as are established for persons whose home is within the federal home value limits. Payments for such persons shall, if federal law permits, be administered by the secretary. If federal law does not so permit, such grants shall be paid by the counties, and the costs, including administrative costs, shall be deducted from the individual county’s contribution required under Section 12400.
