7.2.3.5.2 Minimum Work Requirements

The CMF+ placement is for W-2 participants who are working in unsubsidized employment and meet the following minimum work requirements based on their family type:

Family Type Minimum Work Requirement Single-parent family with a child under the age of 6 At least 20 hours per week of unsubsidized employment. Single-parent family whose youngest child is age 6 or older At least 30 hours per week of unsubsidized employment. Two-parent family not receiving federally-funded child care At least 35 combined hours per week of unsubsidized employment.

Participants working less than 30 hours per week in unsubsidized employment may be eligible for a prorated CSJ (see 7.4.1.5 ), CMF, or CMF+. In determining the most appropriate placement, the FEP must assess the participant’s:

Work hours;
