General Relief Program

General Relief Banner

	General Relief (GR) is a County-funded program that provides financial assistance to indigent adults who are ineligible for federal or State programs. The GR caseload includes the following employability status classifications:
	•	Employables are participants with no medical conditions that would prevent employment. GR employables may receive GR for nine months in a 12-month period, provided they continue to comply with GROW requirements.
	•	Unemployables are participants who have one or more medical conditions (temporary or permanent) affecting their ability to work. GR benefits are not time limited for unemployables.
	The General Relief Opportunities for Work (GROW) program offers employment and training services to employables and is designed to help GR participants obtain jobs and achieve self–sufficiency. Substance abuse treatment is also available if necessary.

General Relief Policy

Quarterly Reporting (QR-7) Information Quarterly Reporting means participants are required to submit a Quarterly Report (QR-7) once every three months. Eligibility and benefits for the upcoming quarter (three month period) will be based on information provided on the QR-7.
