2. A time period for achievement of self-sufficiency;
    

3. The  steps the family will take toward self-sufficiency;
    

4. The services DPA or its agents will provide to assist the family to attain self-sufficiency;
    

5. Specific benchmarks or outcomes that indicate progress towards successful completion of the plan;
    

6. A statement that the family may be subject to reductions in cash assistance or self-sufficiency services, or other penalties if an adult fails to comply with the plan; and
    

7. A statement that describes the necessary conditions and the steps that must be taken to renegotiate the terms of the family’s plan. Plans are updated based on progress in completing steps and achieving goals, and changes in employability.
