340:105-12-12. Assessment and Individual Employment Program (IEP)

Issued 9-15-2021

        The sub-grantee:

(1) assesses participants at least twice per 12-month period;

(2) uses assessment information to determine the most appropriate community service assignments (CSAs) for participants;

(3) establishes an initial goal of unsubsidized employment for all participants;

(4) updates the IEP at least as frequently as assessments occur, twice per 12-month period;

(5) modifies the IEP as necessary to reflect other approaches to self-sufficiency when it becomes clear that unsubsidized employment is not feasible;

(6) includes an IEP provision to transition to other services for participants who reach the individual durational limit or would not otherwise achieve unsubsidized employment;

(7) rotates participants to a new host agency, or a different assignment within the host agency, based on a rotation policy approved by United States Department of Labor in the grant agreement and, only when an individualized determination concludes that the rotation is in the participant's best interest.  Such rotation must further the acquisition of skills listed in the IEP; and

(8) develops a system to transition participants to unsubsidized employment or other assistance before each participant's maximum enrollment duration expires.
