The Director of Welfare shall:

A.

B. 

Reconsider from month to month the amount and nature of public assistance given and alter, amend or suspend assistance when the circumstances so require.

C. 

Devise ways and means for bringing persons unable to maintain themselves to self-support or to the support of any other person or agency able and willing so to do.

D. 

Keep full and complete records of investigations, supervisions, assistance and rehabilitation and of all certifications of persons for employment or benefits and cancellations thereof.

E. 

Bring about appropriate action for commitment to any state or county institution when the best interest of the needy person would be so served.

F. 

Render immediate public assistance to any needy person found in the Township, subject to determination and adjustment of responsibility as provided by law.

G. 

Inquire into the facts, conditions and circumstances of a person applying for public assistance, including legal residence, family connections, living conditions, resources and income; the direct and indirect causes of the person's need; and such other matters as may be required by law, making a written record thereof.

H. 

By written order, render such aid and material assistance as he may, in his discretion, after reasonable inquiry, deem necessary to the end that a person shall not suffer unnecessarily from cold, hunger or sickness or be deprived of shelter pending further certification of the case; and determine after completing his investigation whether continued assistance is necessary, making such order as in his judgment is warranted, having due regard to the circumstances disclosed by the investigation.

I. 

Revoke any continued order for assistance whenever it appears that the person receiving it is no longer needy or will otherwise be provided for.
