Exempt individuals who are informed of the value of the services provided by the JOBS or Tribal NEW Program (job search, job readiness, work experience, etc., and the possible reduction in the number of months applied to the lifetime, 12-month, caretaker exemption) may choose to volunteer. Individuals who volunteer are also able to access JOBS supportive services.

 

Those individuals who volunteer must be referred to the JOBS or Tribal NEW Program provided they are otherwise eligible for assistance.

 

Individuals who are exempt and volunteer to participate in the JOBS or Tribal NEW Program are subject to the same requirements as are non-exempt individuals.

Note: At the time an exempt volunteer who is participating loses their exempt status, a SFN 323, JOBS Status Change or the automated JOBS Status Change form must be sent to the JOBS Employment Contractor or Tribal NEW Coordinator indicating the individual is no longer exempt.  Notification must also be sent to the JOBS participant.

 

Individuals who are exempt and volunteer to participate in the JOBS or Tribal NEW Program and who subsequently fail to participate must have their status changed to exempt (deselect the ‘Volunteer’ checkbox in the automated computer system). A new referral must be created should that same individual, while still exempt, choose to be referred.

Note: A new referral must be created at the time an exempt individual who volunteered but did not comply, is no longer exempt.
