Revised 10-01-14 Monitoring Employment after a TANF Case Closure If the participant is in a paid work activity at the time of TANF case closure and transitional supportive services are requested and approved, the case manager will continue to track and monitor the participant, and re-verify continued employment and work hours every three (3) months. Ongoing employment must be re-verified using current check stubs. New employment may be verified using form MDHS-EA-910, Request for Employment Verification. If new employment occurs during the transitional period, the case manager must verify that the time lapse between the employment end date and the employment start date does not exceed 30 days. The documentation used to re-verify the individual’s current employment status and work hours quarterly will be used to determine ongoing eligibility for transitional services and to calculate the weekly participation to be projected for the next three (3) month projection period. The documentation used to re-verify employment each quarter must be filed in the individual’s electronic case record. Once transitional services end, the individual is under no obligation to routinely report information to the TANF Work Program. Refer to Chapter 10, Supportive Services, for information regarding monitoring and verification of continued employment for receipt of TANF transitional services.
