Title 106 CMR 707.000 - Transitional cash assistance program: employment services program
Section 707.160 - Supported Work Component
Current through Register 1531, September 27, 2024
The Supported Work Component provides education, training, employment and support services that an individual needs to obtain and maintain employment. This component consists of Pre-worksite training and Worksite placement. Participation is subject to available program resources, the individual's approved Employment Development Plan (EDP) and the criteria in 106 CMR 707.160(A)(2) and (B).
(A) Pre-worksite Training. A participant in Pre-worksite training may engage in the following activities to prepare him or her to obtain and maintain employment.
(B) Worksite Placement.
An eligible Worksite participant shall engage in a highly supervised, subsidized or unsubsidized job placement at a public or private sector worksite.
However, if the participant's financial eligibilty for TAFDC ends because the participant's Worksite earnings are increased, the TAFDC case will stay as active, but with a "zero" TAFDC payment amount, as long as the participant works at the Worksite Placement.
The participant and all members of the assistance unit shall be considered to be receiving TAFDC.
