What do I need to do to be eligible for future assistance?

At the time an applicant receives a decision on his or her application, the administrator will inform the person of the requirements for being eligible in the future. Once applying for general assistance, all clients, regardless of whether or not they received any benefits, are responsible for showing that they have done all they can to prevent needing general assistance again. This includes providing documentation (receipts) of all their spending over the past thirty days (or longer if they are seeking assistance with back due bills). Again, the amount of income from all sources received by the household must be provided. Additionally, the applicant must show that he or she has utilized all potential resources referred to them by the administrator.
