Social Services
Contact the already-identified county social-services agency about its county-funded GA/GR programme. This is an agency referral; local eligibility, fees, benefit amounts, waiting periods and the complete application have not been reviewed.
Service area: California statewide information or county-resource referral. Local providers decide eligibility, service availability and intake requirements.
Before you start · 1 requirement & conditions
- Eligibility & access · Shared CDSS county-programme overview; complete local GA/GR workflow remains unreviewed.
- State guidance identifies GA/GR as county-funded and county-specific. Ask this county agency for its own rules; this record does not establish your eligibility.

General Assistance — ga-state-scope
Each county's GA/GR program is established and funded (100 percent) by its own Board of Supervisors. As the state is not involved in this program, benefits, payment levels, and eligibility requirements will vary among each of California's 58 counties.
