The West Virginia Department of Human Services (DoHS), Bureau for Family Assistance will begin accepting school clothing allowance applications on Monday, July 20, 2026, for eligible children enrolled in West Virginia schools. All families must apply and may do so online at www.wvpath.wv.gov or by requesting a paper application be mailed to them by contacting their local DOHS office or by calling 1-877-716-1212. Applications will be accepted until August 15, 2026, or until the available funds are fully allocated, whichever occurs first. To be eligible for approval, applications must reach the local office before the program closes.

The program’s opening had been on hold amid uncertainty over the state’s federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funding. Governor Patrick Morrisey announced that West Virginia has ensured that the funding needed to open the program for families this year will be available.

“We are doing this the right way, and we’re working to make funding streams last. COVID-era reliance on one-time money helped create these challenges, so now we are working to put this program on solid footing. Starting July 20, West Virginia families can apply for the School Clothing Allowance,” said Governor Patrick Morrisey.

Each eligible child will receive a $200 benefit that may be used toward the purchase of appropriate school clothing or piece goods for families who sew clothing for their children.

The monthly income for a family of four for the school clothing program may not exceed $3,483. Verification of income for July 2026 must be submitted with the application.

Income Limits for the School Clothing Allowance Program for 2026: (see below)

School clothing allowance program recipients will receive payments on their electronic benefit transfer (EBT) card. This allows for both online transactions and an increased choice of vendors when purchasing school clothing or piece goods. The EBT card will operate like a debit card and can be used at any retailer who accepts EBT cash transactions. Parents or guardians of children in foster care will receive the school clothing allowance benefit as a check.

Those needing to update their address may do so at www.wvpath.wv.gov or by calling DoHS’s Customer Service Center at 1-877-716-1212.

🦷 Signs of Teething in Babies

Teething usually starts around 4–7 months, though every baby is different.

1️⃣ Drooling more than usual 💧
2️⃣ Chewing on fingers or toys 🧸
3️⃣ Swollen or tender gums 🩷
4️⃣ Irritability or fussiness 😣
5️⃣ Trouble sleeping 😴
6️⃣ Decreased appetite 🍽️
7️⃣ Mild temperature (not a high fever) 🌡️

💡 Remember: High fever, severe diarrhea, or persistent vomiting are not normal signs of teething. If your baby has these symptoms, consult your pediatrician.

Every little tooth is a big milestone! 🦷💕

TRUTH :
Drug-induced abortions are painful and bloody.
These pills work by shutting down the child’s life support system, initiating bleeding, and then
stimulating powerful, painful contractions to expel the child and other contents from the uterus.
Pain and bleeding are unavoidable parts of the process.

“Don’t Swallow the Lie”
This life-saving campaign is designed to teach the truth about the dangers of abortion pills (a.k.a. chemical abortion).
Most mothers and babies are protected from all methods of abortion in West Virginia.
But West Virginia women are being lured into obtaining pills from out-of-state – which adds more risk to an already-dangerous drug.
