1. NAME OF PROGRAM: Absent Parent Employment Program
2. PURPOSE OF PROGRAM: The Absent Parent Employment Program (also known as "Jobs for Dads") is designed to enable parents with child support obligations to obtain employment, while at the same time providing social work services, counseling, motivation and other services that would support their obtaining and retaining employment. This includes follow-up tracking to insure that child support is being paid.
3. APPLICATION PROCEDURES: The social worker/case manager will recruit participants for enrollment in this program from the active caseload of the Cabarrus County Child Support Enforcement Program. This can be either direct referral or by the Child Support Unit recommending referral through the court system. An intake assessment is then completed, where the applicant provides information regarding family size, family income, work history and other related items.
4. ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS: Eligibility is based on WIA section 101(1) and Final Regulations Section 663.110, which stipulates that all applicants must be 18 years of age or older. Priority for intensive services must be given to recipients of public assistance and other low-income individuals in areas where funds are limited. The target populations are high school dropouts, public assistance recipients, minorities, offenders, persons with a disability and those who lack significant work history.
5. OTHER PROGRAM DETAILS: The following items are needed to complete the application process for services in finding employment:
- Driver’s license or picture ID.
