Section 11008.8.

It is the intent of the Legislature that any reduction in the state and county costs of public assistance payments to recipients of aid under Chapter 5 (commencing with Section 13000) of this part, which result from increased social security benefits voted by Congress shall be applied to increasing the monthly grants to all recipients of aid under that chapter.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, on and after October 1, 1972, the maximum or average grants contained in Sections 13100 and 13101 and the need standard of recipients contained in departmental regulations on July 1, 1972, that were established pursuant to such sections shall be increased in the amount of twelve dollars ($12). Such increases shall be reflected in the grants that are payable on October 1, 1972. Such increases shall not replace, but are in addition to any other grant, including any cost-of-living adjustment or any grant for special needs for which recipients affected by this section are or may become eligible.

There is hereby appropriated from the general fund in every county an amount sufficient to pay the total nonfederal costs of the increase in aid grants provided in this section.
