CDSS ACL 97-21 states that on April 1, 1997, the United States District Court issued a temporary restraining order in Roe v. Anderson, enjoining the provisions of California Welfare and Institutions Code §11450.03 (The Relocation Family Grant Provision). Also enjoined are MPP §89-110.4 and the instructions in ACL 97-11.

CDSS ACL 97-11 had instructed counties to implement the RFG. Under the RFG, an assistance unit with no member who has lived in California for at least 12 consecutive months would be eligible to receive the lesser of the AFDC grant as computed by the county using current California law or the Maximum Aid Payment (MAP) from the prior state of residence.
