Carole C. Allen, Social Service Department Appeals Officer ,
having reviewed the case, stating that Mr. Kajangu is a full time
student, that his program is a six year program as he plans to go to
University of California Berkeley for two years after completing two
years at Contra Costa College and then on to law school, and that
the General Assistance provisions require that a recipient have no
more than a nine month program; and
Ms. Allen having commented that although Mr. Kajangu con-
tended that he was given erroneous advice by his eligibility worker ,
said advice would not have disadvantaged him in that he had received
adequate notice and that he had a hearing prior to the discontinuance
of his General Assistance; and
Mr . Kykosa Kajangu having appeared and having stated that
he was not asking to be reinstated but rather was asking for
assistance for the months of December 1983 and January_ 1984 as he
felt he was eligible for those two months; and
Ms. Allen having advised that Mr. Kajangu had been con-
sidered eligible for assistance pending hearing but that he had
failed to attend the first hearing and was subsequently denied; and
Supervisor Powers having moved to grant the appeal for
assistance for the months of December 1983 and January 1984 because
of the confusion and lack of understanding of rules which were not
the fault of the claimant;
The vote on the motion to grant the appeal was as follows:
AYES: Supervisors Powers, Fanden
NOES: Supervisors Schroder , Torlakson
