D. Alternatives Considered

When considering alternatives, we reviewed existing statutory and regulatory definitions and frameworks from Medicaid and other Federal benefit programs, adopting them to the extent possible, where we determined additional information in this IFC was necessary. Recognizing that States vary considerably in their administrative capacity, eligibility system infrastructure, and prior experience with the community engagement requirement, we provide targeted flexibilities, where permitted by the WFTC legislation, to allow States to implement these requirements in a manner tailored to their specific needs. Given the detail and breadth of the provisions in this IFC, we present illustrative examples of alternatives considered, organized under three categories: Compliance and Verification Provisions, State Implementation, and Monitoring and Reporting.
