Refugee Family Self-Sufficiency Plan (RFSSP) The mandatory participant is required to complete an RFSSP with the refugee contractor. The RFSSP is to be developed collaboratively with the mandatory participant and the refugee contractor case manager to address the goals and responsibilities to be met by the mandatory participant and the refugee contractor. The RFSSP should contain both the goals agreed to by the mandatory participant and the refugee contractor, as well as the specific activities the mandatory participant will take to reach the goals. The RFSSP is to be completed within 30 days of the referral to the refugee contractor. The mandatory participant and refugee contractor case manager must agree to all goals and activities assigned in the RFSSP and both must sign and date the RFSSP. The refugee contractor must submit a copy of the signed RFSSP to the specialist via the process developed by the local office and the refugee contractor. If changes or updates are made to the RFSSP, the refugee contractor must submit a copy of the updated RFSSP to specialist. Note: A new RFSSP is required for each new application period. Employment and/or Self-Sufficiency Related Activities As developed in the RFSSP, mandatory participants may be required to participate in the following activities: • Register and participate with the refugee contractor for employment services. • Create and sign the RFSSP, with the refugee contractor case manager. • Comply with activities assigned to the mandatory participant on the RFSSP. • Participate in employment and/or self-sufficiency related activities. • Accept a job referral and/or offer of employment. • Participate in any arranged job interview or scheduled appointment.
