Welfare and Institutions Code section 17104

A refugee who is eligible for, and is required to participate in, an alternative project implemented pursuant to Section 412(e)(7) of the federal Immigration and Nationality Act (Section 1522(e)(7) of Title 8 of the United States Code), shall not be eligible for benefits under this part. This section shall apply only when a alternative project uses a payment level for project participants that is substantially equal to the payment level in effect for persons receiving aid under this part, with respect to both cash and in-kind payments, and if the assistance provided to the alternative project participant is considered a grant rather than a loan.
