782 Chapter 4:Working with families • Section 2: Engagement in the JOBS Program (07/2026) TRACS. In TRACS, clearly document the situation that led to the request for re-engagement, including: • The participant’s perception of the situation; • Steps taken to encourage re-engagement; • Findings of good cause or no good cause (even if the participant is now willing to re-engage); • Staffing with community partners and Child Welfare; • Community visits or attempted visits; • Screenings completed (or offered); • Alternative resources offered or available to the participant; as well as • Any outcomes from previous re-engagement processes. Good cause determination The local re-engagement team determines the participant had good cause for non-participation: • Document the process and outcome in the Re-Engagement Page in TRACS; • Do not apply a grant reduction; • Engage the participant in appropriate ongoing JOBS program activities; • Finalize re-engagement page. Things to consider while determining good cause: • Was the participant JOBS-exempt during the engagement period or any time of the re-engagement process? (JOBS exemption may have not been known to ODHS before the staffing.) • Was there a situation outside of the participants control that prevented engagement? • Did the participant have ongoing challenges in the following areas and ODHS failed to provide consideration, reasonable accommodations, or referrals?

Š Active DV (last six months);

Š Ongoing MH (with treatment);

Š Addictions (in treatment);

Š Learning needs / disability;

Š Physical health (participants or others in HH). No good cause but no DQ The local re-engagement team is unable to determine good cause, however they will not be applying a JOBS disqualification at this time. For example: • The participant attended the re-engagement staffing and agreed to engage in the JOBS program. • The child risk review indicated that we should not reduce the TANF grant at this time. This outcome is known as “No good cause, but no DQ”.
