Welcome to the Town of Rindge Department of Welfare.
Public Assistance was developed to provide temporary assistance to
citizens experiencing economic hardship. Eligibility is based on a
number of factors. If you are found eligible, the Welfare Department
can assist you with such things as one-time rent payments, help with
electricity, or paying for some medications. You are required to repay
the Town of Rindge any assistance you receive once you are returned to
an income-producing status. The repayment amount is set to an amount
that will not create additional financial hardship.
You may apply for assistance once per month for the
month we are currently in. It is your responsibility to reapply if you
think you may need future assistance. You need to bring a new
application and supporting documents to each appointment. Assistance
payments are paid directly to the vendor and not to you. At the end or
your appointment, you will receive a Notice of Decision stating if
assistance has been granted or denied and the reasons for the
decision.
NOTE: ASSISTANCE IS NOT ON-GOING
Please see the links on the top for instructions
to apply for assistance, to view additional resources or to contact the
Welfare Director. |
