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.

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.
