Google says the hours of operation for the General Relief office in Santa Ana on Grand Avenue anyway are 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. and have been since apparently covid the covid outbreak cause them to change their hours to 8 to 5 and nobody was notified Google wasn't notified? Find it hard to believe!

What is general relief

david wagner | Aug 21, 2018
Jack Christian | Aug 21, 2018

Short answer is: free money for poor people (that usually has to be paid back in the future...one way or another!!!). I think it's usually around $220 if you live in a cardboard box, but depends on qualifications obviously. You can get this "free" money 3 times a year now I think

Say I want a new ebt card cuz i lost mine but don't want to wait for a new one in the mail if I go in person do I get it right there and then

Andrew Cruz | Aug 21, 2019
B Nasty | Aug 21, 2019

Yes, you will get a replacement. Ask for one at the front help desk. They'll ask for ID and hand you a paper you must give to the person at the card window. Once you're called, just go to the window and give them the paper in exchange for your replacement. I've done it twice and each time took 10-30 minutes total. I'm sure it will vary depending on how busy it is. The best time is about an hour before they close.

The day I apply for general relief disability how long after do I receive it

Julie Howard | Aug 21, 2019
Johnathan Prieto | Aug 21, 2019

Disability has to be verified by Dr's first with a letter I believe or proof then they give it to you. If you apply as homeless you get it within a few days. If it was LA COUNTY you would get it within a few weeks if you applied as homeless. LA County is 9 months of help and OC is 3 months of help. LA gives you $228 a month OC gives you $350 for 3 months

They have a list of documentation that they generally ask for on the cal win site. I am bringing my passport, my social security card, a bill showing my current residence and my current rent payment, utilities, and proof that my unemployment benefits have expired. They may ask for things like bank statements and proof of assets. Bring pens to fill out the forms and something to write on if you can.

be at the front gate a few. mins before 7am. when applying for cash aid, you have to attend a mandatory orientation class the same day. Then another mandatory class a few weeks later. **If you miss either class without calling in to reschedule, you're application will be automatically thrown out and rejected. you will have to start back at step 1

If you show up anytime after 7:30-8 you will regret it. Its beat to show up around 6:40 and wait out front until the doors open. It can take about 2-4 hours but if you show up after 8:30 the whole process for cash aid can take 5 hours or more
