ACT NOW TO PROTECT PENNSYLVANIA'S
GENERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM

This week, the state House of Representatives approved House Bill 33, which would re-authorize the elimination of Pennsylvania’s General Assistance program.

The General Assistance program provides temporary assistance -- about $200 per month  --  for individuals who have a disability, who are in treatment for substance use disorder, or who are escaping domestic violence, allowing them to meet their most basic needs.

General Assistance is CRUCIAL to Pennsylvania's most vulnerable citizens.

TAKE ACTION TODAY!

STEP 1:  Call Gov. Tom Wolf's office and ask him to veto any bill that eliminates General Assistance. The number to dial is 717-787-2500. It is staffed between 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.

STEP 2: Contact your State Senator and ask them to SUPPORT Pennsylvania's General Assistance Program.
