Text

§ 40-6.4-4. Program voluntary — Elements of program.

The program shall serve both those AFDC recipients and people with disabilities who are ready to work and those who are potentially able to work given adequate support and job-readiness training. Participation in the program shall be strictly voluntary in all respects. The demonstration program shall include the following elements:

(1) Provisions for referral and outreach, that will ensure the participation of those who are ready to work and those who require job-readiness training;

(2) Utilization of the current system of supportive services, such as job-readiness training, child care, transportation, and transitional medical benefits, provided through the department of human services or other applicable provider agencies; and

(3) An evaluation component to provide accountability and replicability, to demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of the supported work grant-diversion model, and to enable comparison with other work models.
