For The Payment of Hospital and Medical Necessities and Other Necessities for Low Income People
What is County Assistance?
If you are indigent and cannot afford hospital and medical care, including medications, or basic necessities such as rent, food, and utilities, then the county is required by law to assist you in paying for them. This is a "last resort" program. This means that the county will pay for these services or necessities only if you have no other way of paying for them on a temporary basis. If, for example, you receive Medical Assistance through the state, then that program must pay for your hospital and medical bills.
Chances are you rely on your vehicle to get you where you need to go — and when you need to go — whether it’s to work, school, the grocery store, or the soccer field. But if you’re late with your car payments, or in some states, if you don’t have adequate auto insurance, your vehicle could be taken away from you...
OK, so you can no longer afford your car. What to do? The first idea comes to you after a few intense discussions with your spouse or perhaps after a few beers. “I know, we’ll just give it back.” The next day you call the dealership and tell them why you can’t afford to make payments. Fully expecting to hear from that same understanding salesman that threw in the leather and sunroof at “factory” prices, instead you get the third degree about late fees and penalties.
