Page 177 of 233 § 10:90-4.9 WFNJ comprehensive social assessment (CSA)

1. If barriers are identified during the assessment, those issues shall be addressed and the sanction shall not be imposed. If the barriers relate to family violence, the FVO Initiative procedures are to be followed (see N.J.A.C. 10:90-20). (e) Disclosure of family violence shall require referral of the individual to the agency's Family Violence Option (FVO) representative (see N.J.A.C. 10:90-20). (f) Based on the information obtained from the comprehensive assessment, the agency shall address all barriers that are identified and schedule the client for an appropriate employment-related activity at the earliest possible opportunity. (g) Actions taken as a result of the comprehensive assessment must be included in the IRP. Some of the assigned actions set forth in the IRP may not be work related depending on the issues and barriers identified on the CSA. Sanctions will apply in those situations of non-compliance with assigned work or work related activities only. Participation in the Substance Abuse Initiative (SAI) and/or the Mental Health Initiative (MHI) may be considered a work activity (see N.J.A.C. 10:90-5.15 and 18). History
