Summary Objective

Join our team and make a meaningful difference for children, adults, and families in our community.

If you're a compassionate, dedicated, and highly skilled person who's been looking for a role where your ideas are heard, your work has visible impact, and your professional and personal growth is valued, consider building your future with us.

Due to the expansion of Medicaid services and the growing need to connect eligible individuals and families with essential benefits, the Person County Department of Social Services is seeking four dedicated and service-oriented Income Maintenance Caseworker II (IMC II) professionals to join our Income Maintenance team.

These positions offer an opportunity to serve the residents of Person County by helping individuals and families access vital healthcare coverage and food assistance. If you are detail-oriented, compassionate, organized, and committed to public service, we encourage you to consider joining our team!

The Income Maintenance Caseworker II positions are assigned to either the Medicaid Unit or the Food & Nutrition Services Unit within the Income Maintenance Program. These units play a critical role in helping eligible residents obtain and maintain access to essential public assistance programs.

Working within established state and federal policies, procedures, and regulations, the Income Maintenance Caseworker II evaluates applications, verifies information, determines eligibility, and maintains accurate case records to ensure benefits are administered appropriately and efficiently. This position requires sound judgment, strong analytical and communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple cases while providing professional, respectful, and responsive customer service.

Medicaid Expansion positions are contingent based on funding.
