• Ch. 12: Employment Opportunities for TANF Recipients

Text

The director may solicit proposals to employ
TANF recipients through a request for proposals, that must include a
statement that an employer desiring to participate in the program under
section 4 of this chapter shall do the following:
(1) Provide health care assistance to a TANF recipient hired by
the employer under the same standards that apply to other
employees. Under this subdivision, the state shall pay only for the
recipient's share of the premium associated with the health care
assistance. However, the payment of this premium may not
exceed the cost that would be paid by the state on behalf of the
recipient for Medicaid.
(2) Treat a TANF recipient as the employer would treat a typical
employee, including offering the same pay scales and promotion
opportunities offered to a typical employee.
