South Carolina TANF & Welfare Offices
South Carolina keeps cash aid modest — a household including two children, the closest match to the standard three-person comparison used to describe TANF caseloads, can receive up to $308 a month. County DSS offices, including 46 offices across 46 cities, handle interviews, income verification, and the child support cooperation requirement that applies to nearly every case. Most residents apply online through the DSS Benefits Portal, but the same county offices accept paper applications by mail, fax, or in person for anyone who'd rather not apply digitally. Caseworkers also connect adults receiving TANF for themselves to job training, transportation help, and child care support meant to move a household toward stability.
This site is an independent, non-government TANF directory and isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any state or federal government agency. Always verify details directly with the official agency before visiting or applying.
Income limit (household of 3)
$2,053/month gross countable income for a family of three
Max benefit (household of 3)
$308/month for a household with two children (closest comparable size)
