Section R6-10-122. Services to Address Barriers to Participation

A.      Identification of Barriers to Participation and Referral to Available Services.

1.        A participant shall notify the participant’s case manager of any barrier to participation in the Jobs Program.

2.        Upon notification or personal observation that a partici- pant has a barrier to participation, the case manager shall document the barrier, and determine whether revising the participant’s employment plan would address the identi- fied barrier. If so, the case manager shall revise the employment plan as necessary.

3.        If revising the employment plan does not address the identified barrier, the case manager shall refer the partici- pant to available community resources.

4.        If no community resources are available to address the identified barrier, the case manager shall refer the partici- pant to available Jobs Program services.

5.        If no services are available, the case manager shall grant the participant good cause for not participating and re- evaluate the situation in 30 days to determine whether the barrier has been resolved or services have become avail- able.

B.       A participant shall participate in a referred service until identi- fied barriers have been resolved, or the service is no longer available.

1.        If the participant’s barriers have been resolved, the partic- ipant shall participate in work activities. If the participant does not participate in work activities after the partici- pant’s barriers have been resolved, the case manager shall initiate the good cause process under R6-10-121.

2.        If the participant does not participate in referred services and does not participate in work activities, the case man- ager shall initiate the good cause process under R6-10- 121.
