Current Narrative:

Work-eligible recipients are assigned a case manager who jointly performs an in-depth assessment of the participant’s family strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and barriers. The assessment helps develop a strategy to determine the programs that the participant will need to become self-sufficient. A family success agreement is then prepared. The family success agreement is a mutually developed contract between the participant and the department. The work-eligible recipient then participates in the appropriate work activities as agreed upon in the family success agreement.
