5. Submitting a completed and validated MDHS-EA-356 form to the case manager each Monday for the previous week, if required. 6. Submitting enrollment documentation, class schedule, semester, midterm and/or final grades, report cards, financial aid verification, along with any other documentation requested (if attending an educational/training component), as required. 7.

JAWS provides an on-line screen for recording daily attendance data on a weekly basis for non- paid work activities. When the participant is assigned to a non-paid component, JAWS creates the first attendance report format, listing the participant's demographic and component information, including the hours the participant is scheduled to attend each day of the reporting period. When the actual hours are recorded on-line by the case manager using this screen, JAWS creates the attendance report screen for the next reporting period for the participant. JAWS alerts the case manager if the attendance report information is not entered by the due date indicated for each report. Attendance reports are due no later than the Monday following the close of the report period. If the weekly attendance data is not entered in JAWS for the time period covered in the progress report by the close of business each Tuesday, JAWS sends an alert to the case manager. This alert cannot be eliminated until the attendance report information is entered in JAWS. If the case manager receives an alert stating that attendance is overdue and the participant has been assigned to job readiness/job search activities, the case manager will contact the job readiness trainer to discuss the attendance problem before scheduling a conciliation appointment for the participant. MDHS-EA-364, TANF Work Program Communication Form, will be used to contact the job readiness trainer and to provide written documentation of the communication between the case manager and the job readiness trainer. The job readiness trainer must return this form within five (5) days. If the form is not returned within five (5) days and the case manager contacted the job readiness trainer by phone to discuss the situation, the case manager will schedule a conciliation appointment for the participant if the job readiness trainer reports that the participant failed to report for class or attend satisfactorily. The case manager will not automatically schedule a 9205
