General Relief (GR) is a financial assistance program designed to support individuals who are experiencing temporary hardship, particularly those with no other resources or income. It is typically offered by county social services and provides temporary relief to people who do not qualify for other government benefits like SSI or SSDI.

Key Benefits of General Relief:

1. Temporary Financial Assistance: GR provides cash payments to help cover basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing for individuals who are low-income and do not have other financial support.

2. Eligibility Flexibility: Unlike other benefit programs, General Relief has more flexible eligibility requirements, which can be helpful for individuals who are in between jobs, facing homelessness, or temporarily unable to work.

3. Temporary Support: This benefit is designed as short-term assistance, helping individuals get back on their feet while they explore long-term solutions, such as applying for SSI/SSDI or securing employment.
