Watonwan County Human Services Center

They are helpful and professional

Does anyone even work at this county? I have called one of their human service staff who had initially contacted me about providing a placement for a client. Despite leaving voicemail messages for a return call over several days the staff has not called me once.

I recently sold my house on LaSalle mn, Watonwan County because of the poor & dishonest treatment I have received from watonwan county human services, Jody Halverson to be specific.
Through this process she told me that I had months to reduce my assets from the sale of my house before it impacts my benefits, this was innocorect information.
She fraudulently gave me information that is not true, I needed to be under asset at the beginning of each month. ( It's her job to give me correct information about the programs I am on and asset limits etc.) , She has been trying to get me off of programs I qualify for since she became my caseworker.
And unfortunately she has got a state employee John P who oversees the MSA program assisting her in this deception (making him an accessory to fraud).
They even went as far as to count money I literally did not have in my position as a capital gain asset to determine I was over income and kicked me off of a program.
This has got to be fraudulent and illegal behavior, They literally made up a dollar amount over the dollar amount I was given at closing, And claimed it as money/ income. I literally did not have that much money My possession at any time . They did this without any documenting or request for documenting information.
My experience with Watonwan human services is They act fraudulently and with prejudiced against people with disabilities that they don't understand.

They’re rude they never answer their phones and will call you back days later. THEY GOT MAJOR ATTITUDE ISSUES.And are super nosey. Mankato human services is so much better i would definitely recommend transferring things over to them and they answer on the first call!

They never answer my call back I turned in everything I need and somehow it always gets lost

If your low income & need government assistance, don't move into this county. this county will fight giving you any assistance.
