How TA Employment Works: |
When applying for Temporary Assistance, each applicant is screened for barriers to employment. Employment Counselors work with everyone to determine an appropriate track of participation based on the individual's needs. |
| |
Individuals may be referred for substance abuse asssessments or medical evaluations if they claim a medical limitation or exemption from work activity. They may be required to establish and attend treatment as part of their restoration to self-suffiency plan. |
| |
We may be able to assist in applying for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) for long-term work exempt or work-limited individuals. Those who can work will attend a job search group or meet with an Employment Counselor one-on-one for asssessment, development of an employment plan, and assignment to other work activities. Individuals remain assigned to an Employment Counselor, reagrdless of employability status, if their case remains open. |
| |
We partner with many local employers and community agencies to better serve our clients. |
