Section 67:10:06:02 - Personal responsibility plan

Unless exempt under § 67:10:06:07, an individual must work with the department to develop a personal responsibility plan. Failure to complete and sign the plan results in ineligibility for the assistance unit. At a minimum, the personal responsibility plan must contain the following:

(1) An employment goal for the individual and a plan for moving the individual into private sector employment;
(2) The obligations of the individual, which may include a requirement that the individual attend school, maintain certain grades and attendance, keep school age children of the individual in school, immunize children, attend parenting and money management classes, or do other things that will help the individual become and remain employed in the private sector;
(3) A plan to move the individual into whatever private sector employment the individual is capable of handling as quickly as possible and to increase the responsibility and amount of work the individual is to handle over time;
(4) A description of the services the state will provide the individual so that the individual will be able to obtain and keep employment in the private sector and a description of the job counseling and other services that the state will provide; and
(5) If applicable, a requirement that the individual attend substance abuse treatment.

If an assistance unit contains a teen parent or a child under the age of 18 who is not otherwise exempt, there must be a separate personal responsibility plan for each of these individuals. Failure to complete and sign the plan results in the penalty established in § 67:10:06:21.
