MISSISSIPPI [ PROGRAM COMPONENTS: COORDINATION OF SERVICES]

Revised 08 - 01 - 12 immediately be notified via the MDHS-CSE-625/325. Any good cause determinations for failure to participate satisfactorily will be handled by the Child Support Office who will coordinate with the case manager or job readiness trainer whether the person will continue to participate in the assigned work activity if the 60-day referral period has not expired. Job Placements When the NCP is successful in obtaining employment within the 60-day period, the MDHSCSE625/325 will be completed notifying the Child Support Office of the placement. The unsubsidized employment must be a full-time job. Placements must not be in temporary employment or limited part-time jobs. The type of placement, pay rate, work hours, start date, etc., with the employer’s name and address must be reported. This does not obligate the employer to keep an employee who fails to participate unsatisfactory after a placement. It is the responsibility of the NCP to make satisfactory efforts to keep a job since failure to comply with the support order could mean another hearing for contempt of court. General Information Determinations of incapacity or exemptions for good cause or substance abuse treatment will be the responsibility of the Child Support Enforcement Office. The NCP will be referred to the Child Support Office to discuss requests for incapacity or other requests to avoid or be excused from participation. The NCP will not be eligible for TANF supportive services. Tracking and Reporting Requirements All tracking and reporting procedures for the NCP referrals will be handled manually by the case manager or job readiness trainer. Each office must maintain a MDHS-EA-325A, NCP TWP Tracking Form, of all NCP work program participants showing the date the referral was received and the status of the case. A case record must be maintained on each NCP referral from the Child Support Office and the case record shall contain all correspondence, documentation and related forms to support all activities, attendance, assignments, failure to attend, etc. These case records will also be available for review by the Division of Child Support Enforcement, auditors or other program monitors on an as needed basis. Forms and tracking/reporting documents will include: • NCP TWP Tracking Form, MDHS-EA-325A, used as a chronological county office record from date of receipt through termination.
