Employment & Retention Services and Resources

If specific reporting or verification requirements exist for a program, service or resource, Post-Aid clients must comply with the requirements outlined for each individual program.

Retroactive payments are not permitted. Requests for services are authorized back to the first day in the month in which service are requested.

Services Available to Post-Aid Clients

CWES continues to examine client needs and ways to further assist as they move from cash aid towards self-sufficiency. As a result of this effort, the list below is not intended to be an all-inclusive list of Post-Aid Services, merely to identify those services which may be of immediate benefit to Post-Aid clients.

• A seamless transition from Stage I to Stage II Child Care. Refer to Child Care Service Background  for more information.
• Transportation is to be authorized to employed clients. Transportation payments for clients are to be paid in advanced for future month usage and should be paid upon the receipt of the “Attendance Verification” (SCD 1755A). Transportation is to be approved for up to twelve (12) months depending on the eligibility status. PAS clients are eligible for mileage.
• Clothing Requests Related to Employment. Refer to Ancillary Expenses.
• Work-Related Expenses. Refer to Ancillary Expenses Work and Training-Related.
• Educational or Training-Related Expenses to increase employability or advancement. Refer to Ancillary Expenses Work and Training-Related and Welfare-to-Work (WTW) Plan Senate Bill (SB) 1232 Provisions.  
• See "Additional Welfare-to-Work Programs" below for other resources.

Additional Welfare-to-Work (WTW) Programs

Post-Aid clients have made a major leap towards self-sufficiency by becoming employed; however, employment alone may not be enough to attain “total self-sufficiency.” To that end, additional programs and services may be available to PAS clients and their families. Each individual program will state whether or not they are available to Post-Aid clients.

Refer to program updates for information on any additional programs that become available.
