Assessment of Employment Barriers On the basis of the assessment, the case manager and the participant will work together to identify and develop a plan of action to resolve employment barriers that may hinder or prohibit participation in the TANF Work Program. This plan is developed on-line in JAWS via the Maintain Client Barriers (MCLB) screen. JAWS supports the case manager in the development and documentation of the individual’s action plan to resolve each barrier by: 1. Providing easy access to relevant current and historical data about the individual. 2. Providing the MCLB screen to record the individual’s employment barriers along with a plan of action to remove each barrier and any supportive services required to help the individual remove employment barriers. 3. Printing the barriers and action plan in a format and language understandable to the individual. 4. Recording the individual’s agreement to cooperate with the plan of action to remove employment barriers. MISSISSIPPI [ REFERRAL TO THE TANF WORK PROGRAM: BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION]
