CHAPTER 3 - TANF REFERRAL PROCESSES

INTRODUCTION 3.1

This chapter applies only to TANF applicants/recipients and describes the support service referral process. Based on information from the Preliminary Assessment, the Combined Application (CA), and information gathered by the SSR during the initial intake interview, recertification, or other customer contact, the SSR will determine whether the applicant/recipient needs referrals to other service providers, is a candidate for the Diversion Payment Program, or whether the customer should be referred to POWER.
