Attachment M- DSS State Office Leadership.pdf

This file is an organizational chart documenting the Department of Social Services (DSS) Economic Services State Office leadership structure as of December 2022 in South Carolina. The document outlines the administrative hierarchy and key personnel responsible for managing multiple divisions and programs, including the Division of County Operations, Division of Employment Services, Division of Early Care & Education, and Division of Program Support. The chart identifies the Deputy State Director and four divisional directors, along with regional team leaders covering the Upstate, Midlands, Low Country, and Pee Dee regions. The structure encompasses oversight of critical public assistance programs including SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), refugee cash assistance, child care services, workforce development initiatives, and emergency response operations.

The document provides contact personnel for specialized functions including SNAP and TANF policy coordination, benefit integrity, employment referral and compliance, workforce consultation, case management, child care licensing, EBT operations, and various support programs such as the Senior Farmer's Market program and SNAP Education Program. This organizational framework supports the Economic Services System Application Modernization contract opportunity, indicating that the modernization project will need to align with or integrate across these multiple divisions, regional structures, and program areas to ensure comprehensive system functionality across South Carolina's economic services delivery network.
