OVERVIEW This material describes the process for referring TANF recipients for placement in TANF Work Program (TWP) activities and monitoring their attendance and progress in their assigned activities. COMPONENT REFERRALS TANF recipients are enrolled in the TWP work activities (components) t

hrough a process of referral. JAWS produces an inventory of all of the providers for each work activity component. The inventory identifies the provider, the type of component services available, the location of the component sessions, and the dates and times that sessions are held. The case manager will select an available component session for the TWP participant. Information about the selected session is recorded by the case manager in JAWS. The TWP participants assigned to a non-paid work activity (job readiness, job search, AWEP, community service, education, etc.) will be given a TANF Work Program Component Referral Notice, T005, to take to their component provider. JAWS will automatically print a T005 notice at the case manager’s local printer when the Add Participant Assignment (MPWA) screen is successfully processed. The case manager will enter the date and time of the appointment with the component provider on the T005 notice. A copy of the T005 notice will be scanned to the participant’s electronic case record. When a TWP participant is assigned to a work activity, JAWS will: • Alert the case manager when the actual start date is not entered (PLACEMENT NEEDS A START DATE). • Identify, after the close of business on the fifteenth day of each month, all component assignments for which the Expected End Date is on or prior to the last day of the following month and alerts the case manager (REVIEW COMPONENT EXPECTED END DATE AND SUPPORTIVE SERVICES). When this alert is received, the case manager will review the case and take appropriate action(s), e.g., update the expected end date, close the component, add a conciliation record, review ongoing eligibility for TANF supportive services, generate a child care termination (CR02), if applicable, etc. • Display a warning message on the MPAC screen if the component expected end date is less than the current calendar date (EXPECTED END DATE HAS EXPIRED, YOU Volume III | Chapter 9 9200
