What if I do not agree with the decision made?

If you are not satisfied you may request a Fair Hearing. You must request the hearing in writing within 5 business days of receiving your decision from the city. We will schedule a Fair Hearing within 5 business days after we receive your request. The Fair Hearing officer will issue a written decision within 5 business days after the hearing. If you are still not satisfied, you have 30 days to appeal to Superior Court.

If you believe the decision violated State GA law you may also call the Department of Human Services to complain at 1-800-442-6003 or locally at 287-2876. The Department of Human Services oversees the General Assistance Program in every municipality in the state and provides partial funding for the program statewide.
