THE VOLUNTARY INITIAL SCREENING |
|
|
|
During application interviews, both initial
and renewal, every client will be asked: ·
Do you need
help with your application? ·
If so, what
kind of help will you need? ·
Do you need
help to give us the proof we need to finish your application? ·
If so, what
kind of help will you need? ·
Do you have
any physical or mental difficulties that will make it hard for you to take
part in a work or training activity? ·
If so, what
kind of help will make taking part easier for you? ·
Do you have
a disabled family member living in your home who needs in-home care? Bulletin
30, FA-08-22 If the client indicates that he/she is unable to take part in
activities even with help, the caseworker will ask one more question: ·
If you
cannot take part in the program, even with help, do you want to see if you
can be exempt from the work requirement? The above listed questions, with client answers, must be recorded in
the case record. Bulletin 14, FA-08-10 If the individual indicates an interest in pursuing an exemption for
him/herself or because of a disabled family member, the caseworker will begin
the incapacity process or the process to determine the need for in-home
relative care. If the responses to the questions above indicate that the individual
may need an accommodation to participate in a work activity, and the
individual has a work requirement or wants to volunteer, further questioning
regarding the need for accommodations will take place during the client rep’s
interview. Note: If
the questionnaire results in positive answers during a renewal that indicate
the client rep needs to do a follow-up screening, the caseworker will
document the case record and contact the client rep for a follow-up
screening. |
