General Assistance Program

The intent of the GA program is to provide temporary relief for  Yolo County residents who have exhausted all other means of support.

Employable recipients who are ready to work are limited to three (3) months of GA (in any county) in a twelve (12) month period. GA recipients, who are not receiving Medi-Cal, are automatically certified for health care services through the Yolo County California Healthcare for Indigents Program (YCHIP). Benefits are issued in a combination of cash, voucher and vender payments.

Hours: Mondays through Fridays 8am - 4pm. Applications from 8am - 12 noon.

Applicants must be 18-65 years old (over 65 must apply for SSI unless they are ineligible due to their immigration status or date of entry into the United States) and must reside in Yolo County. Income must be below the maximum aid allowed. Amount varies with the household size. Property also must be within specific guidelines.

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.
