The Nevada County Department of Social Services offers a supplemental assistance program for people who are ineligible for aid under any federal or state program which is designed to meet all of the applicant/recipient's needs, such as CalWORKS, or the Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP). It is, in large part, an emergency assistance program to be used when other resources are not available or cannot be developed to meet the needs of the applicant(s). General Assistance is a repayable grant, not an entitlement program.

The program also provides temporary services to employable individuals.
