Virginia TANF & Welfare Offices
Virginia's TANF cash assistance is delivered through local departments of social services, part of a network that includes 121 offices across 116 cities. Because the state sets separate income and payment standards by locality group, a three-person assistance unit's gross income ceiling runs from about $966 a month in Group II localities up to $1,175 in higher-cost Group III localities, with a matching maximum monthly payment of $482 to $587 for that household size. Most families start their case through the CommonHelp portal, where eligibility can be checked and an application submitted without a trip to a local office, though paper applications and in-person help are still available at every local department. Once approved, most working-age adults are also enrolled in the Virginia Initiative for Education and Work (VIEW), which local caseworkers use to connect recipients to job training and employment services alongside the cash benefit.
