(1) The FIA/WoRC employability plan is a negotiated document listing eligibility requirements, employment and training activities, and mutual obligations of the state and the participant regarding the course of action leading to the individual's employment and the number of hours and the time limits within which such activities and obligations shall be performed.

(a) All participants in the TANF Cash Assistance programs are required to negotiate and comply with their FIA/WoRC employability plan as a condition of eligibility in the TANF Cash Assistance program. A participant who is exempt from time limits as specified in ARM 37.78.202 must enter into a FIA/WoRC Employability Plan. The FIA/WoRC Employability Plan activities for a participant who is eligible for TANF extended benefits will take into consideration any limitations which are the basis for the extension.

(b) The FIA/WoRC Employability Plan will be reviewed at least once every 12 months by the eligibility case manager and at least monthly by the WoRC case manager. They may also be renegotiated as needed or at the request of either the participant, the eligibility case manager, or the WoRC case manager.

(c) Once the FIA/WoRC Employability Plan is completed, it is signed by the participant, the eligibility case manager and the WoRC case manager. The participant receives a signed copy.

(d) Failure to perform the activities required in the FIA/WoRC Employability Plan on a timely basis will result in sanctions in accordance with ARM 37.78.506.

(2) Because entering into a FIA/WoRC Employability Plan is a condition of eligibility for TANF Cash Assistance, failure or refusal without good cause to enter into a FIA/WoRC Employability Plan initially or to renegotiate and/or sign a new FIA/WoRC Employability Plan when requested will result in the denial of or termination of assistance for the entire assistance unit.
