Veterans' Home of California: county veterans service officers.
Summary
Existing law authorizes the board of supervisors of each county to appoint, prescribe the qualifications of, and fix the compensation of an officer to be titled "county veterans service officer," whose duty is to administer specified aid provided veterans, to investigate all claims, applications, or requests for aid made, and to perform any other veteran-related services as requested by the county board of supervisors. Existing law provides for the establishment and operation of the Veterans' Home of California at various sites for aged and disabled veterans who meet certain eligibility requirements. This bill would continuously appropriate, on a fiscal year basis, from the General Fund, $90 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs for the purpose of operating specified veterans' homes in California and $15 million to the Department of Veterans Affairs for the purposes of funding county veterans service officers, thereby making an appropriation.
