Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:90-4.7

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

(a) An IRP Development Tool (IDT), which provides a participant screening and employability profile, shall be completed for each adult WFNJ/TANF recipient, teen parent and 16 through 18 year old individual not attending school on a full-time basis. The individual's relative employability shall be assessed from the responses to questions in the introductory, educational, employment, personal screening and screening outcomes sections of the IDT.

1. The introductory screening section reviews the individual's current employment and duration on public assistance.

2. The educational screening section reviews such areas as the individual's educational level, relevant training or skills, and possible comprehension barriers, including language difficulties.

3. The employment screening section reviews such areas as the individual's work history and possible employment preferences, employment barriers or needs.

4. The personal screening section reviews such areas as the individual's personal or family/household related barriers or special needs, including housing issues and substance abuse.

5. The screening outcomes section identifies such areas as possible WFNJ activities, suggested barrier resolution activities, necessary supports or deferrals.

(b) The recipient shall be informed prior to beginning the IDT that disclosure of disability related information is voluntary. An individual shall not be sanctioned or otherwise penalized for failing to disclose information or declining to answer specific questions relating to a disability.

(c) The findings and conclusions of the family's circumstances from the IDT assessment shall be used to determine the activities identified in the individual responsibility plan described in 10:90-4.8.

(d) The IDT shall be reviewed and, if necessary, updated at the time of redetermination and whenever interim changes/updates are made to the IRP.
