The Bertie County Department of Social Services is 1 of 100 county administered social service agencies. It's enabling authority lies within NCGS §108A-25, and related statutes. The agency is mandated to provide an array of human supportive services that are authorized and funded, in part, by federal and state legislatures. Social service programs enable economically disadvantaged families to meet basic survival needs, and provide opportunities for families to gain self-sufficiency through employment. Other DSS programs focus on the protection, prevention, and remediation of abuse, neglect, dependency, and/or exploitation of children and adults.

The department's services are subdivided into three primary service program areas:
• Public Assistance Programs
• Social Work Programs (Family Services - Child Welfare and Adult Services)
• Child Support Enforcement

Currently all of these programs are included in the operations of the Department of Social Services with the exception of Child Support Services. These services are contracted through the private company, Young Williams.

Social Work Programs
