RCA 5-MONTH REVIEWS

0030.18

During the 5th month of eligibility for RCA, conduct a case review and face-to-face meeting with the RCA participant(s). Prior to the face-to-face meeting, staff involved with the participant(s) should meet to review the person's situation.

The case review should include:

● What conditions exist that affect the participant's progress toward self-sufficiency?

● What services is the participant currently receiving?

● Are there any other service options that should be considered, including participation in other programs (for example, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment & Training (SNAP E&T))?

● Is the participant's employment plan still appropriate?

● Is the participant currently exempt from RES?

● What resources might be available to the participant when RCA ends?

Immediately following the case review, schedule a face-to-face meeting with the participant. The face-to-face meeting provides:

● A means to reach a participant who may have missed important messages.

● An opportunity for the participant to develop an exit plan.
