Job Retention
Job Retention services are provided to individuals who have secured employment to help them achieve satisfactory performance, retain employment, and increase earnings over time.
Job Retention component provides case management and supportive services to participants for a minimum of 30 days and a maximum of 90 days after employment is secured. The CFET program does not allow for a reimbursement of Job Retention services under 30 days or over 90 days. Days must be calculated by counting the actual calendar days from the date Job Retention component started.
The start date for Job Retention services may be determined utilizing the date hired, provided that the individual received CalFresh benefits in the month of or the month prior to beginning Job Retention services. For example, if Jane Doe started Job Retention component on 10/15/2020, then Job Retention services will be provided to Jane Doe at least until 11/14/2020 (30 days), but no more than 1/13/2021 (90 days).
Job Retention data entry in the VSAS portal MUST reflect the actual 90-day limit and not a 90-day calendar time frame.
