The department shall pay for support services if payment for the services is not available from another source. The support service must aid the individual in resolving problems that interfere with the individual's employment. Support services include items such as the following:
(1) Transportation;
(2) Relocation;
(3) Interview expenses;
(4) Minor medical expenses not covered under article 67:16;
(5) Clothing related to training or employment;
(6) Tools or equipment related to employment;
(7) Limited counseling;
(8) Job-related education; and
(9) Rent and utilities.
An individual applying for assistance is ineligible for assistance for three months if the department pays for a support service and the individual subsequently withdraws the application for assistance.
If an emergency forces the family to reapply for assistance before the three-month period of ineligibility has expired, the individual must repay the amount of the support service payment. The department shall prorate the repayment over a three-month period and deduct the amount of the repayment from the individual's assistance payment.
