Introduction
CFET is a voluntary program that aims to increase the employment and earning capacity of CalFresh benefit recipients by providing participants with the support needed to obtain skills and credentialing. CFET provides participants with case management services and access to basic education, work experience, training, and job search assistance, as well as supportive services to assist with expenses related to finding and retaining employment.
In Santa Clara County, the CFET program is delivered internally through the SCCSSA General Assistance Vocational Services and externally through the Third-Party Partner reimbursement model. The Third-Party Partner model consist of partnerships between various employment & training providers and Santa Clara County.
Participants may engage in a variety of activities, which include Non-Education, Non-Work components; Education components, and Work components. These activities are typically referred to as CFET components. Individuals participating in CFET components are eligible to receive support services such as transportation costs associated with program participation and other federally approved ancillary costs that are reasonable, necessary and directly related to CFET participation. Supportive services include, but are not limited to textbooks, tools, work clothing, dependent care, and short-term housing stabilization services.
This handbook provides a standard set of guidelines and procedures to deliver services to participants under Santa Clara County’s CFET program as a Third-Party Partner. This handbook does not cover every situation or scenario a provider may encounter in their day-to-day case management activities.
