Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) The CalWORKs Indian Health Clinic Program is established to provide funding to Indian health clinics to provide substance abuse and mental health treatment services, and other related services authorized under the CalWORKs program, to CalWORKs applicants and recipients and tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) applicants and recipients living in California.

(b) For purposes of this section, “applicants and recipients” includes individuals who self-attest to an Indian health clinic as either having applied for, or currently receiving, CalWORKs or tribal TANF assistance. An Indian health clinic may also provide services under this section to an individual the clinic verifies is enrolled in the Medi-Cal program, or who self-attests to their enrollment in the Medi-Cal program. An Indian health clinic may accept self-attestation, as described in this subdivision, as conclusive proof of eligibility for services under this section, and is not required to further verify eligibility.

(c)(1) At the beginning of each state fiscal year, an Indian health clinic may choose to request an advance payment in an amount equal to not more than 50 percent of the total allocated amount, contingent upon both of the following:

(A) A written request for an advance payment from the Indian health clinic.

(B) The grantee's timely and accurate submission within 45 days of the beginning of the fiscal year, and the department's approval within 90 days of the completed submission, of the data reports required under the agreement, budget expenditure reports, and an annual reconciliation report, from the prior year.

(2) The department shall remit the advance payment requested pursuant to paragraph (1) if funds have been appropriated through the annual Budget Act.

(3) The department shall remit the remainder of the total allocated amount as a reimbursement when in receipt of a written request and supporting documents from the Indian health clinic.
