General Relief (GR) is a County-funded program that provides temporary cash aid to indigent (very low income) adults who do not qualify for Federal or State programs. Applicants must be U.S. Citizens or legal permanent residents to qualify.
Asistencia General (General Relief o GR) es un programa financiado por el condado que brinda ayuda temporal en efectivo a adultos indigentes (de muy bajos ingresos) que no califican para programas federales o estatales. Los solicitantes deben ser ciudadanos estadounidenses o residentes legales permanentes para calificar. GR is a short-term loan.
All clients applying for GR are asked to sign a lien to reimburse the County for the aid received. The lien is imposed on future payments awarded from Worker's Compensation and Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) claims. Participation in the CalFresh Employment and Training (CFET) program will be counted to reduce the amount of repayment obligation.
GR es un préstamo a corto plazo. A todos los clientes que solicitan GR se les pide que firmen un derecho de retención (gravamen) para reembolsar al condado la ayuda recibida. La participación en el programa de Empleo y Capacitación de CalFresh (CFET) se contará para reducir el monto de la obligación de pago.
## Categories of Application / Categorías de solicitud Adults applying for GR fall under two categories: employable or unemployable. Los adultos que solicitan GR se dividen en dos categorías: empleables o no empleables. Unemployable participants must provide proof of disability.
Many people in this group are awaiting federal government approval of their total disability claims (SSI/SSP). Our SSI/SSP Advocates provide participants with assistance with the SSI/SSP application process. The SSI/SSP Advocates may also help participants get to appointments and stabilize their living situations until the disability income is approved.
Unemployable participants are not required to participate in CFET. Los participantes no empleables deben presentar prueba de discapacidad. Nuestros defensores de SSI/SSP brindan a los participantes asistencia con el proceso de solicitud de SSI/SSP.
Los participantes no empleables no están obligados a participar en CFET. Employable participants are required to participate in the CFET program. CFET is California's employment and training program for CalFresh applicants and recipients who do not receive assistance under the CalWORKS program.
CFET activities include Workfare / Work Experience performing necessary labor at local community sites. Other employment services include referrals to Supervised Job Search offered by the Department of Social Services (DSS) or to America's Job Center of California (AJCC) services offered by the Workforce Development Board, where participants receive assistance in seeking and securing a job.
Los participantes empleables deben participar en el programa CFET. Las actividades de CFET incluyen Workfare / Experiencia Laboral realizando labores necesarias en sitios de la comunidad local. ## Orientation Video / Video de orientación As an employable participant of the General Relief Program, you are required to watch the CalFresh / General Relief Orientation video (YouTube, 6 minutes).
