What is WV Works?

WV WORKS is a federal assistance program that provides monthly cash assistance to families who qualify. Individuals who receive WV WORKS are parents who are seeking job training. Pierpont qualifies as job training, meaning that our student-parents could be paid to go to school!

How do I get started?

Connect with Pierpont’s DHHR Coordinator who will give you information specific to your county and help get you started. If you are eligible, which is determined by DHHR, the next step is to complete an intake with Pierpont’s WV WORKS Coordinator to begin receiving assistance through Pierpont’s WV WORKS Program. The sooner, the better!

During the intake, Pierpont’s DHHR Coordinator will have you complete an agreement form that helps you understand what Pierpont’s WV WORKS Program requires of you as a participant. The coordinator will assess and assist in completing outstanding tasks that you may have, including applying to Pierpont, filling out the FAFSA, connecting with Financial Aid, sending in transcripts, and more. The coordinator will give you information about Pierpont’s WV WORKS Boot Camp that you must complete as a requirement by the DHHR. The Boot Camp is made up of 9 modules to help you successfully complete your classes. You will also receive information about Pierpont’s other Support Services and set up appointments if desired.

If you are already receiving WV WORKS, great! Be sure that you have connected with Pierpont’s DHHR Student Services Coordinator and that you are working to complete the Boot Camp modules.

Can I receive WV Works if I am pregnant?

Yes! You can start receiving WV WORKS while you are pregnant.
