Orientation to Employment First may be accomplished in two phases. The first phase may be performed at the time of application for ADC cash assistance. The caseworker highlights the responsibilities that the client will be expected to fulfill if s/he becomes eligible for ADC cash assistance.
The second phase of orientation to Employment First is done as an introduction to the comprehensive assets assessment. It occurs when the individual’s exempt, mandatory or voluntary status is known. The family must receive detailed information on all EF requirements, program expectations, participation options, services, and time limits.
The orientation can be done in a group setting or individually.
