Description of policy, including the change from prior policy: Nebraska has implemented a solely state funded program for two-parent families and families where the adult or minor parent is incapacitated with a medically determinable physical, mental, or emotional impairment or who has significant barriers to participation in approved work activities. Exemptions include a person who: a. Has an illness or injury serious enough to temporarily prevent entry into employment or participating in another Employment First component activity for up to three months; b. Is incapacitated with a medically determinable physical or mental impairment which, by itself or in conjunction with age, prevents the individual from engaging in employment or participating in another Employment First component activity and which is expected to exist for a continuous period of at least three months;

c. A person age 65 or older; d. A parent who is needed in the home on a continuous basis to provide care for a disabled family member living in the home who does not attend school on a full-time basis and no other appropriate member of the household is available to provide the needed care; e. A victim of domestic violence and where participation in Employment First approved work activities would make it more difficult for the individual to escape violence, or unfairly penalize the individual, or would put the individual at risk of further domestic violence; f. A single custodial parent who is unable to participate because s/he cannot obtain child care for his/her child age five or younger for one or more of the following reasons: • Unavailability of appropriate child care within a reasonable distance from the client’s home or work site; • Unavailability or unsuitability of informal child care by a relative or under other arrangements; or • Unavailability of appropriate and affordable formal child care arrangements.
