Section 10.438  General Assistance Approval Provisions

Temporary assistance shall be authorized in General Assistance cases in which it is verified that an applicant meets all eligibility criteria other than the requirement of citizenship/alienage status and such verification is expected to be received but to take a length of time that would cause undue hardship to the applicant, such that he would be unable to meet his basic maintenance needs of food, shelter and other necessities and the applicant has submitted verification that the required documents have been requested.
