Referred individual MUST:

  1. Contact the JOBS program within seven (7) calendar days from the print date of the referral to schedule an appointment to enroll; and

  2. Attend the scheduled appointment to complete the program orientation, initial assessment, and employability plan; and

  3. Complete their Proof of Performance unless they are determined to have good cause.  

 

An individual who is referred to JOBS or Tribal NEW are required to contact JOBS or Tribal NEW within seven (7) days from the print date of the referral. The contact must be made prior to the close of business of the JOBS or Tribal NEW last working day within the required seven (7) calendar day period. The day after the referral print date is considered day one of the seven (7) calendar day period.  

Note: The day after the referral print date is considered day one of the seven (7) calendar day period.

 

This period shall be extended one working day for each workday the JOBS or Tribal NEW office is closed only due to severe weather or other emergencies.

Note: The seven (7) calendar day period shall NOT be extended due to agency closings related to weekends, Federal, State or Tribal holidays.

 

Example: A new TANF applicant is being referred to JOBS or Tribal NEW. The individual’s JOBS or Tribal NEW referral form is printed on Monday, June 27. Based on the seven (7) calendar day period, the individual would be required to contact JOBS or Tribal NEW by Monday, July 4. However, JOBS or Tribal NEW office will be closed on Monday, July 4, due to the Independence Day holiday. Because the referral period can only be extended due to severe weather or other emergencies, the individual is required to contact JOBS or Tribal NEW by the close of business on Friday, July 1 (the last working day within the seven (7) calendar day period).
