General Relief Policy - Department of Public Social Services

The termination is rescinded effective the first of the
month and terminated the date the employable
eligibility ends.
The ABP 1198 is used by the Hearing Officer to
advise the Worker that GR should be re-approved.
A NOA is not required because the individual was
already advised of termination due to time limits.
EXAMPLE:
An individual’s aid is terminated August 31, for
failure to provide a QR 7. The individual has until
the third Thursday in September (9/16) to submit
the QR 7. The individual appears on September 13
and completes the QR 7; however, his time limits
expire September 10. Because he resolved the
non-compliance issue, he is eligible for the grant
amount for September 1 through September 10 and
his case is terminated effective September 10.
