Who We Are

Cumberland County Department of Social Services offers the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program.   TANF provides eligible families with a monthly cash payment to meet their basic needs if the family has the responsibility of the care of a minor child. Participants may be provided with services such as job skills training, work experience, job readiness training, child care assistance, transportation, and other work related expenses.

An eligible child must be under age 18, or if 18, will graduate from high school before age 19, going to school regularly if he is between the ages of five and 18, living with a parent or other relative, and a U.S. citizen or an eligible immigrant.

Virginia's TANF program emphasizes personal responsibility. 

You can apply for Benefit Programs online at CommonHelp or by telephone by calling 1-855-635-4370.
