Who We Are

Carroll County Department of Social Services offers the TANF program.  TANF provides eligible families with a monthly cash payment to meet their basic needs if they are responsible for 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.

The TANF program initiative has time to limited benefits, a strong work requirement, and a social contract that sets out the responsibilities of and expectations for recipients of public assistance and the government. Training, employment, and self-sufficiency are the objectives of the TANF Program.

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