§ 12303.7. Any aged, or disabled applicant or recipient who is eligible for assistance under

Any aged, or disabled applicant or recipient who is eligible for assistance under this article, whose disabilities prevent the use of cooking facilities at home, shall be given the option to receive an allowance of forty-nine dollars ($49) per month for an individual and ninety-eight dollars ($98) per month for a married couple in lieu of the appropriate in-home food preparation and consumption services. The allowance under this section shall be in addition to any amount that the applicant or recipient is entitled to under this chapter.

The State Department of Social Services shall adjust the amount of the allowance under this section on July 1, 1984, and each year thereafter to reflect cost-of-living changes subsequent to January 1, 1983, as provided under Section 12303. 5.
