Each eligible child can receive a voucher worth $200.00 to buy new school clothes.

Usually in July. Normally the deadline to submit an application is the end of July.

You can apply at your local Department of Health & Human Resources (DHHR) office. Or you can apply online usually between July 1- 31 by going to inROADS here.

Any family with children 18 or under, who is or could be eligible for “WV WORKS” cash assistance benefits is eligible. If you don’t know, then apply and DHHR will tell you.

[Note – You don’t have to apply for cash benefits to get clothing vouchers. You don’t have to receive cash benefits to get clothing vouchers. You just have to be a family that would be eligible if you did apply for them. You CAN get your vouchers without applying for cash assistance.]

Applications will be processed in the order they are received.

All applications must be submitted to DHHR by July 31. All applications that are submitted on time will be processed by August 31.

After they are processed and approved, vouchers will be mailed out once a week to families that have been approved.

The vouchers can be used at any time until the end of October. After October 31 the vouchers will expire.
