General Assistance
Went to the County today with some paperwork, hoping to work for my food stamps and General Assist. Results were less than hoped, but could have been worse.
Firstly, I have been denied General Assist because I have a retirement fund through the State of California of over $2000. The difficulty with this is that I have been trying to access this property for two months now and have been unable to do so. I will have to be more aggressive in this endeavor.
For the Food Stamps I still need to provide proof that I have applied for Unemployment and a stub from my last SCOE paycheck. I am online right now (between typing) looking for the first bit of information, and I will be calling SCOE later on this morning to see if I can't get a copy of my last pay stub, as I seem to have misplaced the original.
Once I have the paperwork squared away I will be choosing one day a week (probably Monday) to work for my food stamps.

EDIT: Looks like getting the retirement cashed out is supposedly as easy as printing out a form, filling it out, and mailing it in. I've mailed this form in before, so hopefully it will stick this time. Objective 1 complete.
EDIT2: Contacted California Unemployment. I have reopened my claim and will be receiving proof of that within the next 10 days. Objective 2 complete.
