Transportation-Related Expenses (TRE) Policy

 [EAS 42-750.11, 42-750.112, 42-750.721]

CWES Workers MUST:

• Make TRE payments available to every client and/or child(ren).
• Inform clients, during Orientation, that TRE is available.
• Complete WTW Program Information checklist to document that client was informed about transportation, and other program requirements.

TRE must be verbally offered to all clients as follows:

• During CWES Orientation.
• When entering into a new approved activity.
• When the client’s cash aid discontinues and the client is eligible for PAS.
• For accepting or retaining employment.
• Upon the client’s request to participate

Clients who are paid a mileage reimbursement must be paid actual miles driven to and from the approved activity, child care provider and home.

Reminder: Per State statute, TREs may not include a “cap” (set a specific limit, maximum or ceiling) or maximum monthly reimbursement amount, beyond which additional miles driven are not reimbursed.
