conciliation and terminate supportive services without first investigating the problem. To do so would be unfair to the participant if the delay in entering this information was the fault of the job readiness trainer. Paid Work Activities An individual’s participation in a paid work activity will be monitored periodically by the case manager. TANF Work Program (TWP) participants must provide verification of continued employment as requested, but not less than every six (6) months. Transitional (TRN) participants must provide verification of continued employment every three (3) months. The case manager will use the check stubs, for the time period requested, to verify continued employment, monitor participation, recalculate the projected attendance for a new projection period and take any other case action(s) deemed appropriate. Attendance Reporting for Non-paid Work Activities Attendance for active TWP participants assigned to non-paid work activities is monitored on a weekly basis. The component provider will be required to provide attendance documentation to verify each participant’s daily attendance data each Monday for the previous week. JAWS will alert the case manager when attendance is due. Attendance reporting and monitoring are the joint responsibility of the case manager, job readiness trainer, the component provider and the participant. The component provider will provide daily supervision, monitor satisfactory participation and evaluate satisfactory progress. Attendance Reporting for Paid Work Activities Participation for active (TWP) and transitional (TRN) participants assigned to paid work activities (unsubsidized, subsidized, on-the-job training) will be projected forward according to the guidelines provided earlier in this chapter (refer to Projecting Attendance Forward for Paid Work Activities.) The case manager is responsible for determining whether the weekly projected attendance hours are sufficient to meet the monthly federal participation requirements for the TWP participants. If not, the case manager will assign the individual to an additional work activity and ensure the individual’s combined hours (projected and scheduled) are sufficient to meet the individual’s monthly federal participation requirement. The case manager is also responsible for determining whether the weekly projected attendance hours are sufficient to meet the minimum monthly work requirements for individuals requesting TANF transitional supportive services.
