DWP BASES OF ELIGIBILITY
0013.05
Before DWP benefits can be issued to a family, the caregiver(s) must develop and sign an Employment Plan with a job counselor. In a 2-parent unit, both parents must develop and sign Employment Plans before benefits can be issued. This early engagement in DWP Employment Services is designed to move participants to work as quickly as possible. See 0028.15 (Employment Plan (EP)).
People who get DWP may also be eligible for health care. See the Minnesota Health Care Programs Eligibility Policy Manual.
DWP units may also be eligible for SNAP without requiring a new application. See 0005.09.06 (When Not to Require Completion of an Application), TEMP Manual TE02.08.143 (Food Support When MFIP Is Closed).
