This department provides emergency financial assistance to disabled persons and families who cannot work and have no other means of support. Assistance usually is in the form of utility payments, rental payments, or transportation. The county’s assistance is temporary until the individuals qualify for other resources such as SSI, workers’ compensation, RSDI, etc. In addition to county funds, the department receives state and federal funds.
The Indigent Program Office is located at the Zapata County Medical Clinic.
