TEXAS State Agencies & Departments https://hhs.texas.gov/about-hhs Texas Health and Human Services (HHS) is transforming to be a more functional, efficient, effective and responsive organization. Our employees bring to this new venture experience in service delivery and working with stakeholders. The new HHS strives to be transparent, accountable and responsive. The transformed HHS is made up of the following agencies and departments:

• Texas Health and Human Services Experienced HHSC employees deliver benefits and services, including:

o Medicaid for families and children o Long-term care for people who are older or who have disabilities o SNAP food benefits and TANF cash assistance for families o Behavioral health services o Services to help keep people who are older or who have disabilities in their homes and communities

o Services for women and other people with special health needs

• Internal Audit o The Internal Audit Division provides independent, objective assurance and consulting services that add value and improve operations. • Office of Inspector General o The Office of Inspector General ensures that more of every tax dollar appropriated for the delivery of health and human services in Texas actually is spent on those services. • Texas Department of Aging and Disability Services= FOCUS ON: o Trust Fund Monitoring o Educational Services for Regulatory o State Long-term Care Ombudsman o Regulatory Services o State Supported Living Centers o Office of the Independent Ombudsman for SSLCs o Consumer Rights and Services Complaint Intake

They also arrange for services for older people who need a help staying home. And they support families providing care for their loved ones.

• Care for People 60+ • Long-term Care • Services for Caregivers

Disability Texas has more than 3.4 million people who have a disability. HHS offers a broad array of services to meet their needs, whether it is providing options to a family whose child was just diagnosed with disability, helping find independent housing, working with community partners to create jobs, or finding someone to provide services to keep people out of institutions.

TEXAS WORKFORCE COMMISSION The major functions of TWC include developing the workforce, providing support services including child care for targeted populations participating in workforce training and adult education and literacy services, providing services for people with disabilities to obtain training and employment, and administering the unemployment benefits and tax programs. TWC also provides information and analysis on shifts in occupations and industries within the state and seeks to reduce discrimination in employment and housing through education and enforcement of state and federal laws.

Workforce development includes the oversight and support of an employer-driven, integrated system that consolidates employment, job training and work-related services including the regulation of career schools.

The unemployment benefits program, funded through employer taxes, provides temporary income to workers who have lost their jobs through no fault of their own. TWC collects unemployment taxes from liable employers and pays unemployment benefits to qualified claimants. TWC has a formal appeal procedure to address claim issues and employer tax liability, contribution or reimbursement disputes.

For employers, we offer recruiting, training and retraining, outplacement services, assistance recruiting and retaining qualified employees with disabilities, and valuable information on employment law and labor market trends and statistics.

For job seekers, we offer career development information, job-search resources, training programs and, as appropriate, unemployment benefits. While targeted populations receive intensive assistance to overcome barriers to employment, all Texans can benefit from the services offered by the partners of Texas Workforce Solutions.

Use our Programs & Services menu to find more detailed information about the programs and services TWC provides.
