I'm pregnant - what services are available to me?

Social Services can provide services to expectant parents who are considering placing their child for adoption. Benefits eligibility may exist for pregnant women in the programs of SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Medicaid, and TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) if there are other minor children.

In order for program eligibility to be determined an application for benefits must be completed. Applications are available at the local DSS office or the application can be mailed to you. A face-to-face interview is required for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and TANF (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families).
