Example: A person is recovering from surgery. The caseworker lists keeping doctor appointments, getting a medical assessment form completed, keeping physical therapy appointments, and other activities. Agency help might include a referral for medical transportation.

The AMR can also include activities that will improve the person’s situation or the health and well-being of children, such as the following:

Enrolling a child in Head Start.

Keeping appointments for prenatal care.

Participating in the Women's, Infants', and Children's (WIC) program.

Getting a driver’s license.

Many of the activities on the AMR will be voluntary and not subject to sanction if the person does not follow through.

The caseworker must also tell the person about the Maximizing Participation Project (MPP) and its benefits and give the person the option to enroll in the program. See Chapter 135, Appendix H for information on MPP.
