The Bertie County Department of Social
Services is 1 of 100 county administered
social service agencies. It's enabling
authority lies within NCGS §108A-25, and
related statutes. The agency is mandated to
provide an array of human supportive
services that are authorized and funded, in
part, by federal and state legislatures.
Social service programs enable economically
disadvantaged families to meet basic
survival needs, and provide opportunities
for families to gain self-sufficiency
through employment. Other DSS programs focus
on the protection, prevention, and
remediation of abuse, neglect, dependency,
and/or exploitation of children and adults.
The department's services are subdivided
into three primary service program areas:
• Public Assistance Programs
• Social Work Programs (Family Services -
Child Welfare and Adult Services)
• Child Support Enforcement
Currently all of these programs are included
in the operations of the Department of
Social Services with the exception of Child
Support Services. These services are
contracted through the private company,
Young Williams.
Public Assistance (PA)

Food and Nutrition Services (FNS), Family
and Children (FC-MA) and Adult Medicaid
(MA), Work First Employment (WF), Emergency
Assistance (EA) and General Assistance (GA),

Medicaid Transportation (NEMT).
Social Work Programs
Social Work Programs are separated into two
divisions: Adult and Child Welfare Services.
Adult Services Adult Guardianship,
Protective Payee, Personal Care Services,
and Case Management. Child Welfare Services
programs include Child Protective Services
(CPS), Foster Care, and Adoptions.
Child Support Enforcement

financial support obligations to ensure
child support collections and disbursements.
