THE STATE BUDGET : What the Budget Means to You

Proposals made by Gov. Pete Wilson as part of the 1995-96 budget would have a direct effect on millions of Californians.

IF YOU:

* Earn $80,000, are married and have two children, your state income tax bill would be $548 less per year. If you are single and make $40,000 a year, your state income tax would be cut $285 per year.

* Are a community college student taking an average class load of 12 units, your fees per year would increase from $312 to $360.

* Are a public high school or elementary school teacher with tenure, you would lose that job security provision. Continued employment would depend on an assessment of your abilities.

* Are enrolled as an undergraduate at a California State University campus, you would pay $1,740 a year in fees--$156 more than you pay now. As a graduate student, your fees would go up $246, to $1,830.

* Are a mother of two children on welfare, your cash grant could be reduced from $607 per month to $594. Gov. Wilson’s proposes another 7.7% cut to reduce the grant to $547. Additionally, if it is determined that after six months of receiving benefits that you or another member of your household is an able-bodied adult, the cash grant would be reduced to $465 per month. After two years the portion of cash grant extended to you would be abolished altogether, although your children still be able to collect $375 a month.

* Are a teen mother on welfare, you would be required to live with a parent or guardian to remain eligible for your benefit, unless the parent or guardian was abusive.

* Are an alcoholic or drug addict receiving special state cash grants for treatment, that source of income would be cut off.
