Description
The Legislature authorizes counties to calculate general assistance grants for indigent residents pursuant to a formula based upon the "federal official poverty line." (Welf. & Inst. Code, § 17000.5, subd. (a).) *fn1 It also permits a county to deduct from these cash grants the value of "in-kind aid" provided by the county, such as food, shelter, and up to $40 per month of medical care. (Ibid.) Sacramento County (hereafter the County) determined that it could satisfy its statutory obligation to provide medical care to indigent residents solely by providing the general assistance standard of aid specified in section 17000.5. Thus, it limited eligibility for county medical care to those residents financially eligible for general assistance. The County also decided that it could cease providing medical care even to residents eligible for general assistance, if it chose not to deduct $40 per month of the value of medical care from general assistance grants. The trial court entered a preliminary injunction precluding the County from implementing this eligibility standard for medical care, or any other standard that fails to consider a resident's financial ability to pay the actual costs of obtaining subsistence medical care. The Court of Appeal, however, agreed with the County's position and directed the trial court to dissolve the injunction.
