OAR 461-190-0241: Transition Services; JOBS

(1) A client who becomes ineligible for the Pre-TANF or TANF programs because of an increase in earned income is eligible for transition benefits and services for 12 months upon meeting the criteria in OAR 461-190-0211 for receiving support services (see 461-001-0025) in the JOBS program. The total cost of JOBS support service payments may not exceed $1,000 for the duration of the 12-month period. For clients whose eligibility ends for reasons other than income from new employment, the benefits and services are limited to completing any JOBS activity (see 461-001-0025) in progress at the time program eligibility ends. (2) The transition period begins on the date determined by the following: (a) For clients participating in an OJT activity (see OAR 461-001-0025), the transition period begins: (A) When TANF benefits end because of earned income, if there are three or fewer months left in the OJT contract. (B) Three calendar months before the end of the OJT contract, if TANF benefits end because of the level of earned income when more than three months remain in the contract. (b) For clients participating in a work supplementation activity (see OAR 461-001-0025), the transition period begins when the wage subsidy (grant diversion) to the employer ends. (c) For all other clients, the transition period begins when Pre-TANF or TANF program benefits end.
