POLICY STATEMENT |
|
|
|
The Personal Responsibility Plan (PRP) is
an agreement between the Families First participant and the Department of
Human Services that is completed for each Families First assistance
unit. In this agreement, the Families
First participant agrees to take certain steps to move the AU to
self-sufficiency. In return, the Department
of Human Services agrees to provide temporary cash assistance and child care,
if needed, to help the caretaker/parent to gain employment. The PRP development is started by the caseworker. The caseworker will explain the basic
requirements that are included in all PRPs.
If a client has a work requirement he/she will be referred to a client representative who will
complete the PRP process. Each assistance unit adult must agree to sign and comply with the
individualized PRP. If there are two
adults in the AU, each one must sign his/her own PRP. A minor parent must also sign an
individualized PRP whether or not he/she is the caretaker of the case.
