7.4.1.5 Prorated CSJs

The prorated CSJ placement is for W-2 applicants and participants who are working in unsubsidized employment for less than 30 hours per week and have limitations to increasing their work hours or obtaining additional job(s).

Hours of activities and payments are prorated to one of the following three levels based on the participant’s total weekly hours of unsubsidized work:

Prorated level Unsubsidized work hours per week Max CSJ activity hours per week Max education and training hours per week Monthly payment 1/3 CSJ 20-29 Up to 20 Up to 10 $218 1/2 CSJ 15-19 Up to 25 Up to 10 $327 2/3 CSJ 10-14 Up to 30 Up to 10 $435

The total combined number of hours of assigned activities and unsubsidized employment must not exceed 40 hours per week for individuals placed in a prorated CSJ.

Participants working up to nine hours per week in an unsubsidized job or a non-W-2 funded subsidized job may be granted a full CSJ payment. Participants working 30 hours or more per week in an unsubsidized job or a non-W-2 funded subsidized job are not eligible for a prorated CSJ.

Activities assigned to prorated CSJ participants must be specifically designed to assist the participants with overcoming their employment limitations within a reasonable time period. For information on combining prorated CSJs with aggregated education and training policy, see 8.2.2.4 .
