Description |
Localities providing disability advocacy services will identify General Relief recipients who have received written notification from the Social Security Administration that their disability claims at the application or reconsideration level have been denied. Local staff will send letters to the interim assistance recipients explaining advocacy services, offering to refer them to advocacy providers for legal representation during the appeal process, providing information on how the appeal would affect their general relief benefits, and advising them that they have five days from the receipt of this letter to contact the agency requesting advocacy services.
