400.57r Family independence assistance benefits; extension; section inapplicable after September 30, 2011.

Sec. 57r.

(1) Beginning October 1, 2007, if the department determines that an individual is eligible to participate in the work first program and resides in a county in which a jobs, education and training (JET) program is available, family independence assistance shall be paid to that individual for not longer than a cumulative total of 48 months during that individual's lifetime. If the recipient is meeting all the requirements outlined in his or her family self-sufficiency plan, has not received more than 2 penalties under section 57g after October 1, 2007, has not received any penalties under section 57g in the preceding 12 months, and labor market conditions or employment barriers prevent employment placement, the recipient may apply to the department for an extension of family independence assistance benefits for a period not to exceed 12 months over the 48-month cumulative lifetime total. Nothing in this subsection prevents the department from providing assistance to individuals who are determined to be exempt from work first participation under section 57f.

(2) This section does not apply after September 30, 2011.
