South Dakota Association of County Commissioners
Catastrophic County Poor Relief Program
CCPR assists counties with the payment of catastrophic medical expenses incurred on behalf of individuals who are medically indigent and have no ability, or only limited ability, to pay the costs of hospitalization.
How CCPR Works
The Catastrophic County Poor Relief Program (CCPR) was established under South Dakota Codified Law (SDCL) 28-13A in 1984.
The program is administered jointly by the South Dakota Association of County Commissioners (SDACC) and the CCPR Board. The Board consists of five county commissioners appointed by the executive board of the SDACC. Board members serve staggered terms of four years or until their term as county commissioner has expired.
Issues concerning the CCPR program, and contacts with and correspondence to the CCPR Board, should be directed to the CCPR Program Administrator.
