MISSISSIPPI [ PROGRAM COMPONENTS: TANF WORK ACTIVITES DEFINED] Revised 08 - 01 - 12 As a regular part of the evaluation (quarterly at a minimum), the case manager must: • Review the individual’s TANF and SNAP benefits to determine if there has been a permanent change in the benefit amounts. If a permanent change has occurred, the case manager must close the existing component and add a new component in order to recalculate the maximum hours based on FLSA requirements. • Review the case for improvements, changes, or any information that would affect the placement of the individual into a full-time job and consult with the job readiness trainer and/or employment coordinator regarding potential employment opportunities. The case manager may require the participant to go for job interviews at any time during the AWEP or community service assignment when a suitable employment opportunity is available. Job interview appointments should be scheduled around the participant’s AWEP/ community service work schedule, when possible. • Assess how the participant feels about the work activity assignment. • Review the availability of other appropriate TWP activities.
