Welfare Transition

1
Welfare Transition

• Work Activity Definitions
• August 2007

2
PRWORA

• Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity
  Reconciliation Act (PRWORA) of 1996
• Changed welfare from an entitlement into a work
  program
• 12 work activity categories were named
• The work activity categories provided by the
  federal government under this Act did not have
  definitions, states determined what services and
  activities would be allowed under each category

3
Deficit Reduction Act

• In 2006, the Deficit Reduction Act reauthorized
  the original TANF block grant
• Directed Secretary of Health and Human Services
  (HHS) to publish regulations
• States were defining the work activities
  differently
• Some states allowed very broad definitions, which
  allowed a lot of different services as countable
  work activities
• For example, caring for a sick family member or
  going to substance abuse treatment was considered
  community service in some states
• The states were not being compared equally based
  on the work activity definition differences

4
Deficit Reduction Act

• Regulations must ensure consistent measurement of
  work participation rates by
• Defining work activities and what types of
  services were allowable to receive credit for
  hours under work activities
• Defining who is required to participate in work
  activities and will be included in the work
  participation rates, work eligible
• Establishing equal and stringent supervision and
  documentation requirements for all states

5
Deficit Reduction Act

• Interim Final Regulations
• Required each state to develop work activities
  consistent with definitions based on the federal
  definitions of the work categories
• Required each state to submit a work verification
  plan
• Required the states plan to be approved and
  implemented by September 30, 2007

6
Deficit Reduction Act

• The States Work Verification Plan must
• Describe all of the services included under each
  work activity
• To receive credit for hours participating in the
  work activity, the services must meet federal
  definitions
• Describe how countable hours are identified,
  credited and proven
• Describe the supervisory process for each unpaid
  activity
• Describe documentation requirements for each
  activity
• Describe monitoring and internal controls

7
Participation Rates

• States are required to engage all work eligible
  TANF recipients in the employment and training
  program
• States are to engage participants in work
  activities that help the participants reach their
  goals and ultimately self-sufficiency
• Success is gauged by the percentage of
  participants that actually attend certain
  activities
• Engaged in specific countable work activities
• Engaged in a specific number of hours in core
  activities
• May be engaged in additional hours in core plus
  activities once the core requirement is met for
  the family

8
Participation Rates

• The number of hours required in a core activity
  depend
• On the family type
• The participation rate being calculated

9
Credit for Participation Rates

• All Family Rate
• 20 hours in core activity(ies)
• 30 hours total
• Inclusions
• All two-parent families
• All single-parent families
• Exclusions
• Subject to sanction
• Single parent family with a child under 12 months
  (time limited)
• Exceptions
• Child under the age of six requires only 20 hours
  total (all in core activities)

• Two-Parent Family Rate
• If subsidized childcare is received and neither
  parent is disabled
• 50 hours in core activity(ies)
• 55 hours total
• Subsidized childcare is not received and neither
  parent is disabled
• 30 hours in core activity(ies)
• 35 hours total
• Exclusions
• Families with a parent that has a documented
  limitation/disability lasting greater than 30
  days and entered in OSST as a medical deferral
  lasting greater than 30 days
• Subject to sanction

10
Participation Rates

• The State must prove that half of all families
  with a work eligible adult receiving assistance
  are participating in work activities that are
• Designed to engage the parent in reaching goals
• Designed to engage the parent in gaining skills
• Designed to move the family from welfare to work

11
Participation Rates

• The State must demonstrate that 90 percent of
  two-parent families with work eligible adults
  receiving assistance are participating in work
  activities that are
• Designed to engage the parents in reaching goals
• Designed to engage the parents in gaining skills
• Designed to move the family from welfare to work

12
What is Assignment Versus Credit?

• The PRWORA (from which the Federal Regulations
  are derived)
• Requires a family receiving cash assistance to be
  engaged in a work program
• Further limited to work eligible individuals in
  2006
• Requires work eligible individuals in a family
  receiving cash assistance to engage in work
  activities defined under Federal Regulations
• Gives states credit for engaging a work eligible
  participant in a minimum number of hours in
  certain work activities defined by the Federal
  Regulations

13
What is Assignment Versus Credit?

• We assign participants to activities based on
• Goals
• Needs
• Work activity definition/requirements
• A participant cannot be required to do more than
  40 hours per week based on Florida Statutes
• We do not assign hours based on what the
  participant may get credit for under deeming
  (Community Service/Work Experience)

14
What is Assignment Versus Credit?

• We assign participants to hours in work
  activities to ensure participants are moving in
  the right direction
• Most RWBs require that each work eligible parent
  complete between 35 and 40 hours per week

15
What is Assignment Versus Credit?

• But what do we get credit for?
• Engaging families in the minimum number of hours
  in work activities
• Based on family type
• Recording that the families completed the minimum
  number of hours in countable work activities
• Retaining documentation that the families
  completed the minimum number of hours in
  countable work activities

16
Assignment Versus Credit?

• We record what a participant actually completed
  based on
• The number of supervised hours a participant
  actually completes
• The number of supervised hours recorded on signed
  documentation
• Deeming requirements (Work Experience and
  Community Service only)
• Sometimes a participant completes more than (s)he
  is assigned
• Sometimes a participant is credited with more
  hours than they actually completed (Deeming)

17
(No Transcript)
18
Assignment Versus Credit?

• Critical elements for accountability
• Participants need to
• Recognize the assigned activities
• Recognize assigned hours
• Recognize and understand expectations to complete
  steps to achieve goals
• Hourly requirements
• Must be in writing
• Must be agreed on by both parties

19
Question

• The participant has not come to an appointment.
  This is his first meeting/orientation. The
  requirement is not in writing. Can he still be
  held accountable for not attending?

20
Answer

• Yes
• There will be some circumstances when a
  requirement may not be in writing and signed in
  the IRP
• Orientation letter
• Appointment letter
• Activity agreed on over the phone after a
  counseling contact

21
Answer

• However, if we meet with the participant,
  requirements should be reviewed, put in writing,
  agreed on and signed by both parties
• Written requirements demonstrate an agreement
  with the participant
• Written requirements provide a reminder for the
  participant

22
Assignment Versus Credit?

• Case managers should discuss with participants
  how to document their hours using time sheets,
  pay stubs, job search forms, etc.
• Case managers should review with participants
• How to fill out the document
• How to secure signatures from the correct party
• What information is required for the document to
  be accepted
• When the documentation is due

23
Assignment Versus Credit?

• Case managers should encourage participants to
  complete required hours
• Case mangers should encourage participants not to
  exceed hours required for the program
• Especially for worksite activities
• The RWB may opt to create a disclosure document
  regarding completing hours above the number
  assigned by the RWB

Work Activity Definitions
31
Unsubsidized Employment

• Is a full or part-time job in the public or
  private sector
• Wages are paid by the employer and are not
  subsidized by any public program
• Included in this definition are
• Employers who receive tax subsidies for hiring
  lower income individuals
• Individuals who are self-employed
• Includes
• Employers claiming a tax credit
• Labor in exchange for services (in-kind work)

32
Unsubsidized Employment

• Hours spent in unsubsidized employment are
  assumed to be supervised based on wages
• Employment verification must be received prior to
  recording the job on the Skill Development screen
  
• Documentation verifying employment must include
  wages at hire, hours at hire, start date,
  employers name, etc.

33
Unsubsidized Employment-Self Employment

• The individual is both the employee and employer
• May include in-kind work (work for services
  rendered, rent, etc.)
• Countable hours are determined by
• Dividing the individuals documented income
  (gross income less business expenses) by the
  higher of the Florida or federal minimum wage
• Case managers cannot take a participants
  statement of hours and pay when recording
  self-employment

34
Subsidized Employment

• The employer receives a subsidy from TANF or
  other public funds to offset wages and/or costs
  of employing a recipient
• Private subsidized employment means the subsidy
  comes from a private entity or program

  participant must be supervised daily and hours
  must be documented by the designated supervising
  party
• Justifies the use of TANF funds
• Documents the hours completed to support the use
  of funds
• Daily supervision must be documented and
  submitted no later than every two weeks

36
On-the-Job Training

• Is training provided to a paid employee while
  (s)he is working full-time
• The employer or an educational institution
  provides training to the participant to gain
  skills for job position
• The employer (or education institution on behalf
  the employer) receives a subsidy
• The employer is expected to retain the
  participant as a regular employee (without a
  subsidy) after training is completed

37
On-the-Job Training

• The difference between Subsidized Public or
  Private Employment is the focus of the activity
• OJT is paid training while working full-time

38

  sheets/documentation of completed hours
• The contract for the participants worksite
  participation should include

• Performance benchmarks
• What will the participant be required to achieve
  prior to completion?
• What skills the participant must gain during the
  Work Experience?
• What are the expectations of the employer?
• Goals
• Outcomes
• Time limits

45
Work Experience

• Hours assigned for the month
• Cannot be greater than the calculation
• Cash assistance amount Food Stamp Allotment /
  the higher of the two minimum wage (Florida or
  federal)
• Hours the participant is required to complete
  each week must be included in the IRP
• Currently, the monthly total may be further
  divided by 4.3 to assign weekly hours and develop
  a schedule
• Those hours must be agreed on by the participant
  and career specialist
• Should be written in the steps-to-self-sufficiency

46
Work Experience

• Hours assigned/calculated should be included in
  the case notes
• Hours assigned must be entered on the activity
  screen (weekly)
• Because the benefits may change monthly, the
  hours assigned to a worksite must be reviewed and
  updated monthly
• Update the steps to self-sufficiency
• Update case notes
• Update the Skill Development screen

47
Community Service Programs

• Are structured programs at not-for-profit
  organizations
• Projects must serve a useful community purpose in
  one of the following fields

  calculation allows
• Cash assistance Food Stamp allotment / the
  highest of the federal or State minimum wage

51
Community Service

• Hours the participant is required to complete
  each week must be included in the IRP
• Currently, the monthly total may be further
  divided by 4.3 to assign weekly hours and develop
  a schedule
• Those hours must be agreed on by the participant
  and career specialist
• Should be written in the steps-to-self
  sufficiency
• Should be entered in the case notes

52
The Gift of Deeming

• Applies only to the worksite activities
• Work Experience
• Community Service
• Has three principle components
• Core hours based on the family type
• Calculated monthly hours at the worksite for the
  family
• Actual hours completed at the worksite(s) by the
  family

53
Deeming

• A family may be given credit for the core hours
  
• Currently, the JPR screen records weekly hours.
  The family may be given credit for all core hours
  if the family completes all required hours for
  the week
• Some regions have developed local operating
  procedures to give the family core credit for
  completing required hours during the month
• The procedure must be written
• All staff should follow the local procedure

54
Deeming-Assigning versus Credit

• Credit
• Family completes all required hours for the week
  or month
• The required hours are based on the calculation
• The career specialist enters the core hours on
  the JPR screen for the weeks/month based on the
  family type
• The career specialist enters a case note
  including
• Calculated hours for the month and the week
• The hours completed
• The number of hours deemed

• Assigning
• Family is assigned hours based on the calculation
• Two-parent family may share hours or one parent
  may complete all hours provided the parent is not
  required to complete more than 40 hours per week
• No family must be required to complete more than
  the hours calculated
• No individual must be required to complete more
  than 40 hours per week

55
Deeming-Assigning versus Credit
56
Monthly Deeming

• Some RWBs may implement monthly deeming
• This allows the RWB to maximize deeming based on
  the number of weeks in the month the participant
  will engage in a worksite rather than dividing by
  an average number of weeks in the month of 4.3

57
Monthly Deeming

• The calculation for monthly deeming is
• Cash assistance combined with the monthly Food
  Stamp allotment divided by the higher of the two
  minimum wages (Florida or federal)
• This total number of monthly hours is then
  divided by the number of weeks left in the month
  or the number of weeks the family will
  participate in work activities
• This allows for make-up hours to be completed in
  a week if hours are missed in another week
  provided a participant is not required to
  complete more than 40 hour per week

58
Monthly Deeming-Example

• I met with the family on May 21, 2007 to begin
  the work activity process, Participant 1 has just
  finished the assessment process
• P1 is in need of work experience and has
  clarified her employment goals, so she is a good
  candidate for our work experience program
• P1 is a single parent and will complete all the
  work activities for her family

59
Deeming-Assigning versus Credit

• Carla received 241 in cash and 181 in food stamps
  for June 2007
• Based on the calculation, Carla is required to
  complete 63 hours at a worksite for this month
• Because one week of June 2007 is over and there
  are only four weeks in June 2007, there are only
  three weeks for Carla to complete the 63 hours
  for the month
• The 63 hours are divided by three weeks
• Carla is assigned to 21 hours a week for the next
  three weeks at a worksite and 15 hours in
  computer classes designed to help her gain skills
  to become a secretary (based on her goal)
• If she does all of her hours and provides the
  appropriate documentation, what do we enter on
  her JPR screen?

60
Deeming-Assigning versus Credit

• We would enter her exact education hours (15
  hours)
• If she completes her required worksite hours for
  the month, we can enter either
• the core hours of 20 per week or
• the monthly total the last week of the month
• Monday must be in the same month (June 2007)
• Four Mondays in June at 20 core hours each week
  is 80 hours for the month

61
When is Deeming not Appropriate?

• The family is assigned to fewer hours than the
  calculation requires
• The family does not complete all required hours
  even though the hours were assigned based on the
  calculation
• In all these situations, the JPR screen should
  reflect the actual hours completed

62
Quirks of Implementation

• The JPR screen records weekly hours not monthly,
  so how do we record this?
• RWBs must develop Local Operating Procedures
• Some regions have stated they would deem monthly
  (LOP required)
• Otherwise, regions must deem weekly until OSST is
  updated to accommodate monthly deeming

63
Question

• But, her education hours will be 15 per week
  (completed) combined with 80 hours at a worksite
  (total deemed)
• This is over 40 hours a week, are we breaking the
  law?

64
Answer

• No, the RWB did not assign over 40 hours per week
• The participant received credit for over 40 hours
  per week based on the deeming provisions

65
Job Search and Job Readiness Assistance

  party
• Depends on the activity
