General Relief
General Relief provides limited financial assistance to individuals
and families. General Relief is a local program, and the kinds of
assistance vary from agency to agency. In Chesterfield County, assistance
is provided in the following areas:
- General Relief Maintenance: For those who are
temporarily unable to work due to a physical or a mental disability.
This provides a monthly payment for a maximum of six months.
- General Relief Interim: For those who are permanently
disabled and are awaiting a disability decision from the Social
Security Administration.
- General Relief Unattached Minor: For those
who are eligible for TANF but do not meet the relationship requirements
for that program.
- General Relief Emergency: For those who have
had a change in their financial situation beyond their control
that has caused them to get behind in their shelter expenses,
or to have an emergency medical need. General Relief funds are
also available for emergency burial needs.
Applicants must meet income and resource requirements. If you are
eligible for TANF or SSI, you are usually not eligible for General
Relief. |
