1002 FAMILY SELF-SUFFICIENCY PLAN (FSSP)
Federal law and State statute require that every adult who is included in an assistance unit must develop, sign, and comply with an FSSP , see 45 CFR 261.12 and TANF State Plan 4.2.
The initial FSSP is based on a thorough employability assessment. Completing a Family Self-Sufficiency Plan within 30 days of referral is expected as the final product of this assessment, see WSPM MS 1001.
Assign the client to a full schedule of activities based on their individual circumstances. Generally, families are assigned to 40 hours a week of activities. Exceptions to the 40 hour a week assignment requirement will be documented in CLNO . Updated FSSP s are based on the progress identified by on-going assessment including the family's life complexities, individual dynamics, and present situation, see WSPM MS 1001. The FSSP includes concurrent activities that will lead the client towards self-sufficiency. It is a road map that describes the steps, and, in general, the order in which those steps will be taken.
