Disqualification

ABAWDs are not subject to disqualifications for not participating in the Section 20 Optional Workfare Program at the time of this plan’s submission.

Record Keeping

Written workfare site agreements are executed with all agencies and organizations that serve as workfare sites. These agreements are kept in a master file at each local agency (the county DHS or subcontractor) that operates the Section 20 Optional Workfare Program. In addition, county DHS or their sub-contractors must furnish the State with the names, addresses, and hours of specific clinics and doctors that will treat injured clients for workers’ compensation purposes. This information is required for each workfare site. All workfare site agreements are reviewed, and a copy is retained by the state office. These agreements are updated when changes occur and at least every two years. Case files, both electronic and hard copy, are maintained for each client. Case files include workfare sites, hours assigned, hours actually worked, timesheet/evaluation forms, and any communication with SNAP eligibility staff, workfare site sponsors, and the client. Case files that include an individual service plan, assessments, case notes, and other program-supporting documentation are maintained for audit and review purposes for at least three years from the month of origin for each Section 20 Optional Workfare program case. Clients are seen at least monthly to review their progress at their workfare site. Each month, the client or the workfare site supervisor submits a timesheet/evaluation form to the workfare coordinator.
