Madison County DSS launches new web site

The Madison County Department of Social Services is proud to announce the unveiling of its new website. The department serves over 16,000 county residents on a monthly basis, providing over 40 different programs and services to families and individuals.

From this website, you will be able to apply for food stamps, view information regarding Medicaid and HEAP, peruse child support information, determine if you want to become a foster or adoptive parent, learn how to report your concerns if you think a child or adult is being abused or neglected, discover what is new at DSS, or find out how to become an employee.

Employees from each of the units in DSS worked to make sure that residents of the county would have the information that they would need to know. Our expectation is that as users access the site and give us feedback on what they need, we will continue to add information.

The site will allow county residents to learn about what services and programs might be available to them (or their family members, friends or neighbors). This will ensure that residents are aware of what is necessary should they find themselves in need and allow the DSS staff to effectively and efficiently reach out to the families in need.

Our hope is that Madison County residents, along with non-residents looking for services for family and friends living within the county, find the site useful, and we look forward to bringing you more information in the coming months and years.
