Nevada Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) is one of the largest departments in state government. The Division of Welfare and Supportive Services (DWSS) provides services and resources to Nevadans with low income.
Specific programs are available for those who qualify, such as:
Food Assistance
Medical Assistance
Cash Assistance
Child Support Enforcement Program (CSEP) Nevada’s CSEP provides five basic services to both TANF and non-TANF families: 1) parent location; 2) establishing paternity for children born outside of marriage; 3) establishing financial and medical support orders; 4) enforcing support orders; and 5) collecting and distributing support payments. In providing these services, the birthright of children is established, support is secured for children missing one or both parents, and the burden on Nevada taxpayers is reduced by offsetting the need for public assistance.
