GR 40-109.9 – Action on
Applications
What actions are taken on applications?
Applications are approved, denied, or withdrawn.
Approvals
An application is approved when it is determined
and verified that the individual meets all eligibility
requirements.
A notice of approval for GR is generated and
mailed by LEADER to notify the individual of
approval.
Denials
An application is denied when it is determined
that the individual is ineligible to GR. The
effective date of denial is the date of the
application regardless of emergency aid issued.
The reason for ineligibility is recorded in Case
Comments and a LEADER-generated NOA is
sent.
If an individual appears ineligible, but wishes to
continue the application process, the Section of
the application which reads, “I understand I am
not eligible for General Relief, but I want to
continue with the application”, must be checked.
The individual must sign and date as
appropriate.
Withdrawals
An application may be withdrawn only upon
request of the individual.
The Section of the application that reads, “I
understand I am not eligible for General Relief
and I want to cancel my request for General
Relief” is checked. The application must be
signed and dated in the appropriate boxes.
If an individual verbally requests withdrawal, but
is not available to sign or will not sign, the
application is denied and a denial notice is sent
to the individual.
