GR 40-109.4 – Completing the Application How is the application completed? The application is completed by the Worker when the individual is unable to do so due to illiteracy, language difficulties, or mental/physical disability. When the EW completes the application, the reason the individual was unable to do so is recorded in Case Comments. Prior to GR approval, all adults requesting aid must sign the SAWS 2. A signature by mark is only acceptable when the individual is prevented form signing because of illiteracy, disease, or mental/physical disability. A signature by mark (normally an “X”) must be witnessed by an adult. The adult signing as witness must indicate his/her address. When the Worker responsible for the case signs as a witness, the district address is used. A signature consisting of alphabet characters different from those used in English (for example, Japanese, Hebrew, Russian, etc.) must be witnessed in the same manner as witnessing a signature by mark. The witness to such a signature is not required to understand the foreign language symbols. The signature of the witness is sufficient to establish that the individual wrote the symbols to represent his/her signature. Where there is a court-appointed guardian or conservator, the application is signed in the following manner: “John Smith, ___(guardian/conservator)___ for the Person and/or Estate of Mary Jones.” GR 40-109.5 – Application Interview What does the application interview consist of? All individuals applying for GR are interviewed to determine eligibility and the grant amount. Each adult (18 and over) requesting GR is pre-screened for potential substance abuse. Each adult or minor who requests GR is advised of rights and
esponsibilities and provided with information about the following: Refer to GR 40-120 for details on substance abuse screening. The GR Basic Grant (which includes a clothing allowance). GR Special Needs. Medi-Cal and/or health services available through the County Department of Health Services. Food Stamps. Social Services. IAP. Mandatory Substance Abuse Recovery Program (MSARP). The SAWS 2 and ABP 392, Information Sheet, (an out of drawer form) provide important information about GR eligibility requirements, benefits, rights, and responsibilities. GR 40-109.6 – Employment Needs Evaluation What does the Employment Needs Evaluation consist of? As a condition of eligibility for GR, at application, all adult employable individuals who appear eligible to GR are referred to the Employment Specialist for completion of the Employment Needs Evaluation. Each individual interviewed by the Employment Specialist is provided with information about the following: ‣ The GROW program and the benefits of employment. ‣ GR time limits. ‣ The ABP 191, Welfare-to-Work Employment Training for Non-Custodial Parents (an out of drawer form) and the Welfare-to-Work training programs, if applicable, for non-
