09-INF-20: Countability of Job Search and Job Readiness Training Activities
|
The purpose of this Informational Letter (INF) is to inform social services districts that New York State has met one of the criteria that allow the State to be deemed a "Needy State" under the provisions set forth in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Final Rule. This designation allows New York to report the hours of participation in job search or job readiness training activities for up to twelve weeks during a 12-month period, no more than four of which can be consecutive and to have those hours of participation count fully towards the federal participation rate calculation.
Local Departments of Social Services were notified of this change in an e-mail from WTWCMS sent to all WTWCMS Liaisons on July 28, 2009. Two existing desk aides have been updated to reflect this change and are available through the OTDA intranet at http://otda.state.nyenet/ldss_eforms/default.htm: * 4923 (6/09) TANF and SNA MOE Work Activities Countability Desk Guide (Households with Dependent Children) * 4924 (6/09) SNA non-MOE Work Activities Countability Desk Guide (Households without Dependent Children).
