Family Independence Program - Application Procedures - South Carolina

Applicants to the Family Independence Program (FIP) must complete a written application and submit it to the local South Carolina Department of Social Services (SCDSS). The application may be obtained from any DSS office, or it may be downloaded from the Internet.

Applicants are informed about eligibility standards, the requirement to provide regular income verification to SCDSS, and the need to re-determine eligibility every 12 months.

If the application is approved, assistance begins on the date of approval if that date falls in the same month as the month of application or on the first day of the month in which the 30th day from receipt of an application falls.
