Title II of the Statute establishes the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) Program under Title IV-F of the Social Security Act (the Act). The purpose of JOBS is to assure that needy families with children obtain the education, training, and employment that will help them avoid long-term welfare dependency. The JOBS Program is designed to assist recipients to become self-suffi- cient by providing needed employment-related activities and support services. Public Law 100-485 requires State IV-A agencies (Human Services, Human Resources, Welfare) to have a JOBS program under a plan approved by the Secretary of MIS no later than October 1, 1990, or, at State option as early as July 1, 1989. It further requires each State IV-A agency to make the program available in each subdivision of the State, where it is feasible to do so, by October 1, 1992. At least every two years, the State IV-A agency must review and update its JOBS plan and submit the updated plan to the Secretary for approval. In addressing the problems of welfare dependency, the Statute mandates certain JOBS activities, and requires State IV-A agencies to choose to implement two of four optional program activities (job search, on-the-job training, work supplementation, and community work experience programs). Previously, State IV-A agencies were required to have a Work Incentive (WIN) or WIN Demonstration program and could elect to provide other work programs. Under the work program option, the State IV-A agency chose which type of work programs to implement. The Family ;lupport Act is more specific than prior work program authorities regarding the activities which may be offered by State IV-A agencies and the populations they are to serve under the various program authorities. State IV-A agencies are required to assure coordination of JOBS Program services, including child care and supportive services pursuant to the regulations, with related services provided by other agencies. In each state, the Governor must assure that JOBS Program activities are coordinated with programs under the Job Training Par'...nership Act (JTPA), and with any other relevant employment, training, and education programs available within the State. At a minimum, this means that tae appropriate job training and preparation components of the State JOBS plan shall be consistent with the coordination criteria specified in the governor's coordination and special services plan required under section 121 of the JTRA. 6 A State's JOBS Program must include the following four services and activities (services may be combined rather than offered discretely): a) Any educational activity below the post secondary level that the State 1V-A agency determines to be appropriate to the participant's employment goal. Including, but not limited to, high school education or GED preparation, basic and remedial education (to the 8.9 grade level), and ESL. b) Job skills training including vocational training. c) Job readiness activiti.es to prepare participants to enter the world of work. d) Job development and job placement activity by the agency to solicit employment for participants. A State's JOBS Program must include, but is not limited to, at least two of the following four components: a) Group and individual job search. b) On-the-job training. c) Work supplementation. d) Community work experience program, or other approved work experience program activities. A State's JOBS Program may include referral of a participant to postsecondary education, as determined necessary to meet any individual goals that are directly relatcfd to obtaining employment in a recognized occupation, within limits established by the State 1V-A agency and reflected in the State JOBS plan. Two-year colleges are advised to contact their State 1V-A Agency to determine the status of the State's JOBS Plan, and the implementation of the program, both in the State and local subdivision. Opportunities exist for enhancing supportive services to ADC and AFDC recipients who are already enrolled in the College, in terms of personal and academic counseling, tutoring, job placement assistance, assessment and career developmeAt/exploration. All of these services would be designed to eliminate barriers to educational attainment and/or employment for ADC and AFDC recipients who are enrolled in associate degree or certificated programs. While the direct costs of tuition, books, and fees would generally not be paid through JOBS (rather traditional financial aid), JOBS can pay the direct and indirect costs associated with the enhanced supportive services which would be delivered to JOBS-enrolled clients. 7 For further information regarding the implementation of the JOBS Program on a local (city or county) level, contact the Department of Human Services, Human Resources, or Family Welfare. For further information on a national level contact: Mark Ragan Family Support Administration Office of Family Assistance Fifth Floor, 370 L'Enfant Promenade, SW Washington, D. C. 20447 (202) 225-5118 Reported by Robert J. Visdos Mary Malley 1 SECTION II : JOBS - EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) Program ** Educational Activities ** Mandatory Pitivities Section 482(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Social Security Act provides that the required educational activities are: (1) high school education or its equivalent; (2) basic and remedial education to achieve a basic literacy level; and (3) education for imdividuals wisth limited English proficiency. The conference report (H.R. Rep. No. 998/ 100th Cong., 2nd Sess. 142 (1988)) states that where enrollment in regular high school programs is deemed inappropriate, the State ry-A agency is expected to identify or develop alternative educational activities to meet the needs of JOBS participants. The regulations provides that the educational a9tiyitv mav include which means that an intermediate educational goal between basic education and high school is acceptable if the State IV-A agency concludes that it corresponds to the individual's long-term employment goal. Postsecondary...Education The offering of postsecondary education is an entirely optional matter for the State IV-A agency to address in its JOBS plan, except that the regulations limit such education to that which is directly related to the fulfillment of an individual's employment goal, i.e., to obtain useful employment in a recognized occupation. Within this occupational limitation/ the State 1V-A agency must set forth in its State JOBS plan the bases upon which it will determine whether postsecondary education is appropriate. Eg11-:_initiatagLEguraticaLar_lraining Section 402(a)(19)(F) of the Act gives the State IV-A agency the option to allow individuals who are already engaged in education or training at the time they are otherwise required to begin participation in JOBS to continue attendance at an institution of higher education (as defined by section 481(a) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, 20 U.S.C. 1088) or in a school or course of vocational or technical training if certain conditions are met. The regulations require that a participant: (1) attend the educational activity at least half-time; (2) make "satisfactory progress in such :institution, school, or couise"; (3) be enrolled in a course of study that is consistent with her employment goals; aLd (4) meet the State's criteria for determining the appropriateness of the self-initiated activity. Other Edupation. Training. end Employment Activities Section 482(d)1)(B)(ii) of the Act provides that the Secretary may approve additional components not specified in the Act. 10 Job opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS) Program * Role of Postsecondary Education * The role of postsecondary education in preparing individuals for self-sufficiency is recognized in the JOBS program. The Family Support Act provides two approaches to engaging in postsecoldary education: Self-InitigIted _Education or Training o The State IV-A agency may allow an individual who is enrolled at least half-time in an institution of higher education (as defined in the Higher Education Act), or in a school or course of vocational or technical training, at the time she would commence participation in JOBS, to continue in that education or training if: * the education or training is consistent with her employment goals, and * she is making satisfactory progress in her studies. o If the individual fulfills the conditions of participation: * she can receive such supportive services as child care and transportation, and * ocher JOBS activities may not be permitted to interfere with her schooling. o The Act stipulates that her educational expenses are not federally reimbursable through JOBS. o The Act provides that the State may offer JOBS participants postsecondary education in appropriate cases. o The offering of postsecondary education is an entirely optional matter for the State IV-A agency to address in its JOBS plan, except that, consistent with the purpose of JOBS, we have limited such educatic,n to that which is directly relz.ted to the fulfillment of an individual's employment goal, i.e., to obtain useful employment in a recognized occupation. o The JOBS participant who has been placed into postsecondary education may receive supportive services. o While the costs of postsecondary education to which a JOBS participant is assigned are reimbursable under JOBS, we encourage States to use Federal, State, and private resources that are otherwise available to fund postsecondary education for JOBS participantsin keeping with the Act's mandate for coordination of services and activities. 1 1 * JOBS Educational Activities and Related Definitions * o Activities 4 t * 0111 t - needed in relatton to the particinant's epployment goal (including high school education or education designed to prepare a person to qualify for a high school equivalency certificAte, basic and remedial education, and education in English proficiency). For those custodial parents under 20 who have not earned a high school diploma or the equivalent and can benefit from the activity, JOBS requires participation in a high school or equivalent education or in another appropriate educational activity. Individuals age 20 and over who do not have a high school education or the equivalent must participate in educational activities consistent with their employment goals, unless they demonstrate a basic literacy level or have a long- term employment goal that does not require a high school diploma.

JO5S-FSA-1.14-90-3 Date September 14, 1990 61110=1111111, TO: STATE AGENCIES ADMINISTERING THE JOB OPPORTUNITIES AND BASIC SKILLS TRAINING (JOBS) PROGRAM UNDER TITLES ry -A AND nr-F OF TEE SOCIAL SECURITY ACT, AND OTHER INTERESTED ORGANIZATIONS, AGENCIES, AND INDIVIDUALS SUBJECT: Sequestration of FY 1990 Federal JOBS Funds REFERENCES: The Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Act of 1965, as amended (Public Law 99-177), commonly known as the Gramm-Rudman-Follings Act. EFFECTrVE: Immediately upon issuance. BACKGROUND: The Gramm-Rudman-Hollings Act requires automatic reductions (*sequester") in Federal spending in selected programs. The amount to be sequestered fnr JOBS for FY 1990 is $3,606,000. The amount of Federal financial participation (FFP) available to each State for JOBS comprises two portions. Tbe first portion is equal to the amount a State received for its Work Incentive (WIN) program or WIN Demonstration program for FY 1987. The FFP rate for State expenditures which may be matched these funds has been 90 percent. The sec 3 portion is based on each State's average monthly number of AFDC adult recipients for the preceding fiscal year. The FFP rates for expenditures which may be matched by these funds are the higher of the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) or 60 percent for certain expenditures and 50 percent for other expenditures. CONTENT: To achieve the savings required by the sequester, the Federal matching rate of 90 percent for the JOBS program for FY 1990 is reduced to 66.01 percent. The JOBS Financial Report, the FSA-331, for the quarter ending September 30, 1990, will be adjusted to the revised matching rate. 27 -2- The Federal Share of expenditures claimed at 90 percent will be calculated at a matching rate of 86.01 percent. The Federal share of expenditures to be claimed at 86.01 percent may not exceed the revised ceiling for that portion of a State's JOBS allocation for which expenditures previously were matchable at the 90 percent FFP rate. The revised ceilings for these Federal funds are attached under column heading, °Authorization at 86.011.° The 86.01 percent FFP rate applies to expenditures of FY 1990 funds mad in FY 1991 as well. For example, a State may show unliquidated obligations on Line 12 of the FSA-331 for the fourth quarter which it had intended to claim at 90 percent. The expenditures in FY 1991 from these obligations may be claimed at 86.01 percent only. Federal matching for such expenditures is subject to the limits shown in the attachment. The second portion of JOBS funds, i.e., that portion for which FFP is available at the FMAP or 60 percent and 50 percent, is unaffected by the sequester. The attachment under the column heading, °Authorization at Other Matching Rates°, lists the remainder of grant award authority for Federal funds that is available for matching Itnder these rates. Negative grant awards will be issued soon to reduce each State's grant award authority to the revised total shown in the attachment. PROCEDURE: FSA-331 reports for the quarter ending September 30, 1990 should be submitted to the Family Support Administration (FSA) within 30 days of the end of the fiscal year. Line 6, °federal Share of Expenditures Eligible for FFP at the 90% Rate°, must represent only 86.01 percent of Line 2# 'Expenditures Eligible for FFP at the 90% Rate.° Line 6 must be adjusted for moth columns (a) °Current Quarter Expenditures° and (b) °Total Fiscal Year Expenditures..° If a State has not adjusted Line 6, FSA will make the appropriate adjustments. 28 -3-- Item 7 of the instructions in JOBS-FSA- AT-90-9, dated July 2, 19901 provides that States may submit adjustments to the reports submitted for the fourth quarter. For these adjustment reports and/or the final report, which is due within 30 days after the end of the following fiscal year, FSA will make necessary adjustments to Line 6 and will send copies of these corrected reports to the States.
