Welfare department
no. It's real. Usually each state has their own.
I suggest that you talk to the agency in your State that handles Medicaid and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
In the US the Social Security Agency oversees funds for dependent children (SSI, SSDI,), Medicaid is a state matter and handled via the state's department of health and human services. Contact your local SSA office for information or visit Social Security Online and/or your state's social service agency.
It is the politically correct term for welfare. Temporary Assistance For Needy Families (TANF) was created in 1997 to replace the term "welfare or public assistance". The designation is now used by both state and federal agencies.

Without looking up the codes, I'd say that only a handful of County employee's are actually considered State employee's. The County employee's that which department is a State Agency are State employee's such as ODJFS, OBES and/or ODH. The County employee's that which department is strictly a County Agency that is not affiliated w/and/or contracted w/any State Agency are in deed County employee's such as CESA, Sheriff's Deputies (except most SWAT or BOMB Squads as most are joint County/State/Federal employee's) Common Pleas and Probate Court and/or MRDD. As a former employee of the County Auditor's office, my payroll funds were dependant on the County's funding. Soon thereafter, as a former State Auditor Inspector, my payroll funds were dependant on State funding. The only common payroll item between both departments was that my County PERS funds were transferred to my State PERS fund.
