I am 40 years old and a resident of Los Angeles County. 2. I began receiving General Relief (GR) benefits in December, 1982. 3. In September, 1983, I was referred to the new county job training program. 4. On November 3, 1983, I went to the Mexican American Opportunity Foundation (MAOF) where I was to receive job training. I picked up my check from Mr. Madrid and was told to return for training on November 7, 1983. 5. On November 7, 1983, I was in great pain in the area where I had prior hernia surgery. I called MAOF and spoke to Mr. Madrid. He told me to get medical treatment and to bring a doctor's excuse and there should be no problem. He did not say anything about any particular time to bring in the excuse. 6. On November 7, 1983, I called two county clinics to seek medical treatment, Roybal Clinic and El Monte Clinic. Both clinics told me I could not get an appointment for a month. 7. I was able to get an appointment at the County USC Medical Center for November 15, 1983. After I went to my appointment, I took a note from the doctor to Mr. Madrid on the 15th. He accepted the doctor's statement. He did not tell me that I had missed any deadline to bring in the statement. I told him they had given me another appointment for November 17, 1983. Attached as Exhibit "A" is a copy of the doctor's statement. |
