Full Description:

We assist in paying rent, motel vouchers, and hygiene products for people who are unable to work and in the process of applying for SSI due to a disability.

General Assistance Programs

General Relief is an assistance program available to eligible individuals without dependents, to provide rental assistance while they are waiting for approval of Supplemental Security Income/Social Security Disability (SSI/SSDI).
Who is eligible?

In order to be eligible for services you have to meet the following criteria: no income in the household; a resident of Yellowstone County for 90 days; be receiving food stamp benefits; have a disability that can be medically verified; and have applied for SSI/SSDI, but have not been approved yet.
What services are available?

Services include rental and utility assistance, not to exceed the monthly income standards.
Can you pay rent to my family if I am living with them?

No, this program does not allow us to pay rent to family members.
Is this assistance a loan? Am I required to pay it back?

If you are approved for SSI/SSDI, the Social Security Administration will pay the assistance back to HRDC on your behalf, if you receive a back pay for the months you received assistance. If you are denied benefits by an Administrative Law Judge no repayment is owed.
Where do I obtain an application?

Applications can be picked up at our main office or you can call and request an application be mailed to you. You can also download an application at the link below:

Tips For Prompt And Professional Assistance
1. Make an appointment - Always attempt to make an appointment. Oftentimes this will save you hours waiting in lines. When on the phone make sure you ask for the documentation needed in order to receive assistance.

2. Do not be late for your appointment - This tip should speak for itself.

3. Dress appropriately - If you want to be treated with respect, dress as appropriately as possible. We are not saying wear a suit. Just make sure you and your clothes are clean and non offensive. We have found that clients who dress in this manner have a better chance of receiving aid.

4. Bring all pre determined documentation - Bring all of the documents you were advised to bring from your appointment phone call. Without them, you will not receive aid.
