Garfield County Human Services

Colorado Works, known locally as TANF, supports more than 50,000 children across the state through a basic cash assistance component managed by Garfield County Human Services in Rifle. The department coordinates food, financial, and medical aid for individuals and families while operating a unique Childcare Connections program tailored to early education professionals. Enforcing child support orders remains a core function, alongside case management services that extend to neighboring Eagle, Pitkin, and Summit counties. Senior programs focus on maintaining independence, health, and nutritional well-being for older residents and people with disabilities. The office also serves as a liaison for veterans, facilitating access to health care, disability compensation, education benefits, home loans, and survivor’s benefits. With wheelchair accessibility and ample parking, the facility provides a professional environment for navigating these essential public assistance programs.
