6.3.2  W-2 Work Participation Documentation, Verification and Supervision

The Federal TANF Regulations require states to have work verification procedures for all individuals receiving cash assistance through the TANF program.  These procedures apply to:

·        All W-2 participants who are in a CSJ or W-2 T placement;

·        Individuals in the CMC and ARP placements who are voluntarily participating in activities; and

·        W-2 participants in the CMF+ placement who are working in unsubsidized employment and must meet federal work participation requirements to be eligible for supplemental payment.

The TANF Regulations are explicit in requiring that all hours of work participation be supervised, documented and verified.  (See W-2 Manual Appendix - TANF Work Participation Requirements)
