An applicant or recipient would receive written notice of this provision. JUSTIFICATION: Many social services applicants and recipients have to travel to offices which are far from their place of residence. This bill would require the assignment of these people to the local office which is the most accessible to their residence. By requiring this, social services applicants and recipients will not have to travel to a randomly assigned social services office and incur unnecessary expenses. In addition, the social services office will be accessible to the community it serves and more aware of the needs of its clients.
