6.2.1.1 Transitioning Participants into a CMF or CMF+ Placement Prior to the EP Appointment

If the agency has made repeated and varied attempts but is unable to connect with a participant transitioning from a paid placement to a CMF Case Management Follow-Up or CMF+ Case Management Follow-Up Plus , the agency may change the placement to CMF or CMF+ prior to the EP appointment. (See 7.2.3.5.3 )

When this occurs, the agency must send an updated EP to ensure that the individual has in their possession an EP that aligns with the changes in activities. The EP end date must be 30 days after the date the CMF or CMF+ placement started on the new EP. This will give the participant the option to complete an EP appointment within 30 days or allow W-2 to close for noncooperation with program requirements.
