sufficiency. The New Focus, had as its primary objective, a family assessment <br />prior to any application for assistance at DSS. Through this assessment, many <br />needs were identified, and addressed. In 75% of the cases, an application for <br />Work First was not needed. <br /> <br />Due to increasing numbers applying for Work First, due to the economy, the <br />limited employment staff has begun to encounter a backlog of cases that require <br />attention with employment services to help them secure a job, and be free of <br />public assistance before their time-clock runs out. <br /> <br />After discussions with several counties, who have taken the New Focus and <br />modified it for their needs, Cabarrus DSS has once again modified their plans to <br />meet its needs. This is done so that applicants can get a clear picture of: 1) what <br />the expectations are of someone applying for Work First, and 2) existing Work <br />First families can be serviced with employment services. <br /> <br />Cabarrus County DSS is presently planning on testing a project to accomplish <br />both objectives. The system that is being tested operates as follows; <br />· When a potential applicant Comes to the department and requests Work First <br /> on the agency fact sheet, they see eligibility Intake. If it is an adult case, the <br /> applicant is informed that they must do the following: <br /> 1. Attend an orientation session prior to applying for WFFA. They are given <br /> a flier which informs them of the schedule for Orientation, which is the <br /> first step in the Work First application process. <br /> 2. Encouraged to see an ESC Employment Consultant to complete a tst Stop <br /> registration before they attend Orientation. If a client is an applicant for <br /> WFFA, they must complete a 1 st Stop registration in order to apply for <br /> WFFA cash benefits. <br /> 3. Have the opportunity to apply for Medicaid and/or Food Stamps and see a <br /> Crisis worker about any program in that area. <br />· At Orientation, the applicant sees the Work First Employment social workers <br /> in a group setting, and is informed about the following: <br /> 1. A description of the WFFA application process <br /> 2. A detailed description of employment services requirements, including <br /> work requirements, time limits, sanctions, supportive services, <br /> terminations, etc. <br /> 3. The benefits of becoming self-sufficient and self-supporting, discouraging <br /> dependency on welfare, and emphasizing work and responsibility. <br />· As a result of Orientation, the applicant has a clear picture of the Work First <br /> program at DSS, and can decide on one of two options: <br /> 1. Apply for WFFA and comply with employment services requirements <br /> 2. Not apply for WFFA and either leave or apply for any other assistance <br /> they so choose. <br /> <br /> <br />
