Who We Are

Dinwiddie County Department of Social Services offers the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.  The TANF program provides eligible families with a monthly cash payment to meet their basic needs if they are responsible for the care of a minor child.  Call for guidelines.  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
  • 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. 

CommonHelp is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s fast and easy way to apply online for many Virginia social services assistance programs. Through a single online site, you can find out what assistance you might be eligible for and submit one application saving you time and effort.  You can apply online for benefits at CommonHelp or by telephone by calling 1-855-635-4370.
