3.607.5 Individualized Plan

The Individualized Plan shall be developed collaboratively between the county worker and the client, addressing the family’s needs, goals, and supports. The Individualized Plan shall be comprehensive including matters relating to securing and maintaining training, education, or work. No abbreviations or acronyms shall be used. The Individualized Plan shall identify goals and determine manageable action steps for satisfying the objectives. The first Individualized Plan shall be developed at the same time the county worker and client review the Condition Agreement (within thirty (30) calendar days from the date of the Workforce Development Screening). The county worker shall ensure the client understands the terms of the Individualized Plan, including reasons the client might not need to engage in work activities and good cause as outlined in the re- engagement section 3.608.3. The client shall indicate by a valid form of signature as defined in 3.601 and date that they agree with the Individualized Plan. If the client does not agree with the Individualized Plan, the client may follow the steps outlined in section 3.609.7 regarding due process. If a client does not participate in the Workforce Development program prior to signing the first Individualized Plan, this shall be considered Demonstrable Evidence, as defined in 3.601, and will result in the closure of the grant payment. Once an Individualized Plan is signed, clients that do not participate in the Workforce Development program are subject to re-engagement according to 3.608.3.
