General Relief Policy - Department of Public Social Services

The case carrying EW or GROW Case Manager
must provide the completed ABP 592 to the GR
Hearing Officer or GROW Hearing Officer, who will
waive the sanction on the same day good cause has
been determined.
Additionally, the case carrying EW must update the
LEADER screens that resulted in non-compliance,
i.e., Job Search, MSARP, etc. The GROW Case
Manager must update the MAPPER screen/s that
resulted in participant non-compliance.
Duplicate Filing
When the hearing confirms duplicate filing, both
the application and second case are
denied/terminated. There is no extended
suspend period for individuals terminated for
duplicate filings.
Overpayments/Sanctions – Duplicate Filing
For individuals applying while currently in a
sanction/ineligible period due to overpayment, the
application is withdrawn and the individual
reminded of the ineligibility period. Because the
individual is not being aided, this is not an
attempt to receive duplicate aid. No further
action is required.
