Local post office

In New Hampshire, people with little or no income may be entitled to financial help from their town or city. New Hampshire law (RSA 165) requires each town or city to have a local welfare program to help people who are in need of financial assistance in meeting their basic living needs. The role of local town or city welfare is to relieve and maintain residents of their towns/cities whenever a person is unable to support themselves. Each New Hampshire town has a town or city welfare office, usually located within the Town or City Office. This is a separate resource from State Welfare/Dept. of Health and Human Services that provide long term assistance. Local town or city welfare programs are required to provide financial assistance for basic necessities such as food, shelter, rent, mortgage payments, heat, electricity, gas, water, necessary clothing, transportation, and prescriptions. Basic telephone service may be paid if necessary for health and safety reasons. Towns and Cities must also help with "maintenance" items such as paper products, household supplies, diapers, etc.. Towns and cities should pay security deposits if necessary to obtain housing. Necessary medical costs should be paid if there is no other way to obtain essential medical services. The town or city may decide that a certain expense, such as a car payment, is not necessary. This may happen when a reasonable lower cost option is available, such as public transportation. The town or city should issue a written decision on your application within 3 to 5 days of your application. If there is an emergency, the town should make a decision immediately. The written decision should tell you how much and what kind of help the town will give. You can't be denied assistance just because: *You have lived in town only a short time *You have received help in the past, or have not repaid help you received in the past *The town or city says they don't have enough money in the budget *You receive other state or federal assistance (However if you receive APTD or OAA, speak with 603 Legal Aid for further information If you think that your request for help has been wrongly denied, call 603 Legal Aid for assistance. You have the right to appeal and request a hearing. If you have questions about this process, please call 603 Legal Aid for assistance. **Whenever any person, a resident in this state, who served in the armed forces of the United States dies and did not leave sufficient estate to pay the expenses of his funeral, or was an assisted person, the overseers of public welfare shall cause him to be decently buried at the expense of the municipality in which he died. Funds received from the Department of Veterans Affairs towards burial expenses shall be retained by the municipality. The municipality shall make a request to the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide a suitable monument.**

CHINS ("child in need of services") is a legal process governed by state statute (RSA 169-D) that helps to address specific behavioral problems of children under the age of 18, specifically, a child who is expressly found to be:

• Habitually, willfully, and without good and sufficient cause, truant

from school; OR

• Habitually running away from home; OR
• Repeatedly disregarding the reasonable and lawful commands of his/her parents, guardian or custodian and placing himself/ herself or others in unsafe circumstances; AND
• Is expressly found to be in need of care, guidance, counseling, discipline, supervision, treatment, or rehabilitation as a consequence of one or more of the preceding behaviors.

Additionally, a CHINS petition may be filed when a child has committed willful repeated or habitual conduct constituting offenses that would be violations (but not felonies or misdemeanors) under the Criminal Code of this state if committed by a person 17 years of age or over, OR willful repeated or habitual conduct constituting offenses that would be violations or misdemeanors (but not felonies) under the Motor Vehicle Code of this state if committed by a person 16 years old or older. (Note: Only a law enforcement officer or prosecutor should file a CHINS petition under these sections.) WHEN IS A CHINS APPROPRIATE? A CHINS petition may only be filed by a parent/guardian/custodian when the following conditions have been met (RSA 169-D:5, III)

• The child and family have sought to resolve the expressed problem through available community alternatives,
• The problem still remains, AND
• Court intervention is needed to resolve the problem.

You must utilize and exhaust other existing remedies and resources before seeking court intervention. The back of this pamphlet lists some information and referral resources. You may also explore the following website: http://www.dhhs.nh.gov/DHHS/DHHS_SITE/default.htm. CHINS WITHOUT COURT INVOLVEMENT: If all other remedies and resources have not been exhausted, a local Juvenile Probation & Parole Officer (JPPO) who is familiar with local resources may suggest alternatives. This does not involve the court. Call the DCYF Central Intake Line (800-894-5533) to request this alternative. For other options, contact your local police department and ask to speak to your police department's Juvenile Officer.
