1007-3          DETERMINING COMPLIANCE

Once a client expresses their intent to comply, these activities must be completed before the penalty is ended or deleted:

1. Develop an FSSPFamily Self Sufficiency Plan;
2. Cooperate with CSSDChild Support Services Division; and/or,
3. Complete work or self-sufficiency activities.

1007-3 A.      DEMONSTRATING COMPLIANCE

Participants may be required to demonstrate their compliance by participating in the required activity for up to:

• Five dates for a first failure to comply;
• Ten days for a second failure to comply; and,
• 30 days for a third or subsequent failure to comply.

1007-3 B.      COMPLIANCE WITH AN ALTERNATIVE ACTIVITY

Compliance may be achieved by participation in an alternative activity.

When the activity that was originally agreed upon by the participant and case manager occurs only weekly or monthly (e.g., vocational counseling) is no longer available (e.g., a special training opportunity) or is no longer appropriate, the case manager works with the participant to identify an alternative activity to demonstrate compliance.

The alternate activity may be one that is already included in the FSSPFamily Self Sufficiency Plan or a newly identified activity that moves the family toward self-sufficiency. If necessary, the family's FSSPFamily Self Sufficiency Plan is updated to include the new activity. The individual may be required to participate in the alternative activity for a period of time, as outlined in MS 1007-2.
