SB 980 - This act implements provisions to ensure accountability on the part of the state agency administering programs that serve low-income families. The act modifies and expands the self-sufficiency program established in 1994. No participant in the program may be assigned to any education, training, or employment program prior to an individualized assessment relating to skill, experience, and employability. Department of Social Service staff will work with the individual to identify the needs of the client in order to meet certain self-sufficiency criteria.
