Attachment A
Annual Report On TANF Programs Under 45 CFR 265.9(b)
(1) The State's definition of each work activity.
Unsubsidized Employment: Full or part-time work in return for an hourly wage,
salary, commission, or piecework where no TANF funds are used to subsidize employment
wages; this includes self-employment activities.
Subsidized Private Sector Employment: Private sector employment where TANF funds are used to subsidize the participant’s employment wages.
Subsidized Public Sector Employment: Public sector employment where TANF funds are used to subsidize the participant’s wages.
On-the-Job Training: Training of a participant hired by a private or public sector employer and, while engaged in productive work, the participant receives training that provides knowledge or skills essential to the full and adequate performance of that job. During the period of the On-the-Job Training contract, the participant is paid the federal minimum wage or above.
Work Experience: Training that is clearly defined in order to provide participants skills in basic work habits and leads to the development of knowledge and ability. During the period of the Work Experience contract, the participant is compensated according to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Community Service Programs: Training participants in basic work habits and job experience that serve a useful public purpose in fields such as health, education, social service, environmental protection, urban and rural development and redevelopment, recreation, public facilities, public safety, and day care. Community service may also provide generalized behavioral, career enhancement, or quality of life activities for the FI recipient.
Job Skills Training Directly Related to Employment: Training conducted by area technical schools or other providers within the community, in order to allow the participant to acquire the skills needed to perform the job functions specified in the description of an employment position.
Vocational Education Training: Short-term training or education designed to provide participants with the skills and certifications necessary for employment in a particular occupational area, such as data entry, carpentry, or child care.
Education Directly Related to Employment: Educational activities designed to provide the participant with the knowledge necessary to meet the labor market needs of the local community. This would include Developmental Education and Literacy.
Satisfactory Attendance in a Secondary School: Satisfactory attendance, according to the South Carolina Department of Education criteria, in high school or a basic course of study to attain a General Equivalency Diploma. It can also include basic and remedial education or English as a second language if required under the participant’s Employability Plan.
Job Search and Job Readiness Assistance: A TANF work program intended to engage participants in employment-directed activities and help them become familiar with general workplace expectations and learn behavior and attitudes necessary to compete successfully in the labor market.
Providing Child Care Services to an individual who is participating in a community service program: Providing Child Care services so that an individual can participate in a Community Service component.
(2) A description of the transitional services provided to families no longer receiving assistance due to employment.
Transitional support services will be provided to eligible families through
a TANF client services fund rather than a separate State program. The services
include items such as physical exams needed for employment, prescription glasses,
safety equipment, automobile repair, uniforms, and transportation. They will
be provided, based on available funding, to individuals who meet one of the
following eligibility criteria:
(1) FI recipients who no longer receive a cash payment due to loss or declination
of earned income disregards or increased earnings.
(2) FI recipients who formerly received a cash payment and who were employed
at the time their case was closed.
(3) FI recipients who formerly received a cash payment and whose cash payments
were terminated due to the 24-month time limit expiration, who become employed
and (a) requested assistance within 24 months from FI case closure and (b) whose
income did not exceed 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
Eligibility for transitional services will cease if any of the following occurs:
(1) The recipient no longer has a dependent child in the home.
(2) Employment ends (a 30-day interruption to go from one job to another job
will be deemed continuous employment).
Assistance may be provided for up to 24 months from the first month of eligibility.
Sanctioned clients may qualify for transitional support services by becoming
employed and earning wages that exceed the FI income limit, thus "curing"
the sanction.
Payments for support services are made to service providers except when the
Department of Social Services directly reimburses a client for transportation.
Transitional child care will be provided, based on available funding, for up
to 24 months to individuals who meet the following eligibility criteria:
(1) FI recipients who no longer receive a cash payment due to loss or declination
of earned income disregards or increased earnings.
(2) FI recipients who formerly received a cash payment and who were employed
at the time their case was closed.
(3) FI recipients who formerly received a cash payment and whose cash payments
were terminated due to the 24-month time limit expiration, who become employed
and (a) requested assistance within 24 months from FI case closure and (b) whose
income did not exceed 150% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
Eligibility will cease if any of the following occurs:
(1) The recipient no longer has a dependent child in the home.
(2) Employment ends (a 30-day interruption to go from one job to another job
will be deemed continuous employment).
(3) The client's income exceeds 175% of the HHS Federal Poverty Guidelines.
Assistance may be provided for up to 24 months from the first month of eligibility. Sanctioned clients may qualify for transitional child-care by becoming employed and earning wages that exceed the FI income limits, thus "curing" the sanction.
The state will expect the parent to make a co-payment based on a sliding fee scale. Parents will have the right to choose the child care arrangement that best meets the need of their child(ren). Payments will be made to providers who meet the State's child day care regulatory requirements. Self-arranged, informal care arrangements that are not required to meet the State's child care regulatory requirement will be paid for, if prescribed basic health and safety standards are met.
(3) A description of how a State will reduce the amount of assistance payable to a family when an individual refuses to engage in work without good cause pursuant to 45 CFR 261.14 of this chapter.
Recipients who fail without good cause to comply with the employment and training
requirements contained in the Employability Plan entered into between the recipient
and SCDSS will be sanctioned in the following manner:
(1) A 30-day conciliation period will be granted the recipient to discuss a
failure to meet the terms of the Employability Plan. During the 30-day period
the recipient may (a) establish good cause for failure to meet the terms of
the Plan, (b) agree to meet, in the future, the terms of the Plan, or (c) terminate
the conciliation process without resolution of the noncompliance issue. If at
the end of the 30-day period the conciliation decision is not in the recipient's
favor, all Family Independence benefits must be terminated by imposing a full
family sanction. The recipient has the right to appeal the Department's decision
to impose a sanction. At the end of this 30-day period if the conciliation/fair
hearing decision is not in the recipient's favor, all Family Independence benefits
must be terminated. Benefits may be reinstated when the recipient agrees to
comply according to the terms of the agreement and demonstrates a willingness
to comply by participating in the employment and training program or obtaining
a full-time job for a period of 30 days.
(2) Terminate all benefits if the recipient completes the training requirements
contained in the Employability Plan agreement and then refuses an offer of employment
without good cause.
(4) The average monthly number of payments for child care services made by the State through the use of disregards, by the following types of child care providers.
N/A – All child care is paid through Child Care Development Fund (CCDF) administered by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
(5) If the State has adopted the Family Violence Option and wants Federal recognition of its good cause domestic violence waivers under 45 CFR 260.50-58, then provide (a) a description of the strategies and procedures in place to ensure that victims of domestic violence receive appropriate alternative services and (b) an aggregate figure for the total number of good cause domestic waivers granted.
SCDSS will provide waivers of certain program requirements (residency, child support, family cap, time limits and work requirements) pursuant to a determination of good cause of normal program requirements for so long as necessary in case where compliance would make it more difficult for such individuals to escape domestic violence.
FI applicants and recipients will be screened to identify individuals with a history of domestic violence. SCDSS has contracted with domestic violence service providers to provide comprehensive training on domestic violence to all FI casemanagers.
Referrals to the local domestic violence agency for counseling and support services will be made upon identification of an individual with a history of domestic violence. Cases referred will be jointly staffed by SCDSS and the local domestic violence agency to develop a service plan, in conjunction with the ISSP agreement, designed to lead to work.
Total number (aggregate) of good cause domestic violence waivers granted = 68
(6) A description of any non-recurrent, short-term benefits (as defined in 45 CFR 260.31(b)(1)) provided, including.
Applicant Support Services are provided to assist an individual in completing the required initial job search or to obtain or maintain employment during the application process, but not intended to meet recurrent or ongoing needs.
(i) The eligibility criteria associated with such benefits, including any restrictions on the amount, duration, or frequency of payments.
The FI (TANF) applicant must appear to be eligible for FI program benefits and in need of services based on information known to the CM and supplied by the applicant. If the applicant obtains a job during the application period and the income from the job prevents FI eligibility, support services (excluding child care) can be granted for up to four months, as needed. There is no cap on the cost of Applicant Support Services.
Restrictions: Applicant Support Services cannot be used to make direct payments
to a DSS employee, to match other federal funds, or to make child care payments
for any purpose directly to the applicant, to anyone in the applicant’s
benefit group, or to anyone who has legal responsibility for the child(ren).
(ii) Any policies that limit such payments to families that are eligible for
TANF assistance or that have the effect of delaying or suspending a family’s
eligibility for assistance.
The policy does not limit payment to families who appear to be eligible for TANF (FI) benefits and there is no intent to delay or suspend the family’s eligibility for assistance.
(iii) Any procedures or activities developed under the TANF program to ensure that individuals diverted from assistance receive information about, referrals to, or access to other program benefits (such as Medicaid and food stamps) that might help them make the transition from welfare to work.
South Carolina does not have a diversion program.
(7) A description of the grievance procedures the State has established and is maintaining to resolve displacement complaints, pursuant to section 407(f)(3) of the Social Security Act. This description must include the name of the State agency with the lead responsibility for administering this provision and explanations of how the State has notified the public about these procedures and how an individual can register a complaint.
All employers contracting with the Department of Social Services are notified and sign an agreement that the employer may not displace any current employee through the use of TANF subsidized employment or Work Experience placements. The employer is notified that a violation of this agreement will make the employer ineligible to participate in the programs in the future.
In addition, a brochure has been developed for distribution stating that if any employee feels that he/she has been displaced due to a DSS placement in violation of the agreement, the employee may register a complaint with:
US Department of Labor
Wage and Hour Division
Strom Thurmond Federal Building
Columbia, SC 29201
(8) A summary of State programs and activities directed at the third and fourth statutory purposes of TANF (as specified at 45 CFR 260.20(c) and (d) of this chapter).
(i) Summarize below, the State programs and activities directed at preventing and reducing the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies and establishing annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies (TANF purpose 3):
The agency has implemented two adolescent pregnancy prevention programs that are directed toward TANF purpose 3 (preventing and reducing the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies and establishing annual numerical goals for preventing and reducing the incidence of these pregnancies):
1. Community Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (CAPP) Program - This program
consists of statewide primary pregnancy prevention programs developed by community
partners. Programs are based on best/effective practices as cited in public
health literature, and target adolescents most at risk for early pregnancy/parenting.
In FFY2004 there were 46 programs operating in 44 counties.
2. Young Parent Program (YPP) - This program seeks to prevent subsequent parenting
among male and female FI recipients ages 9-19 by encouraging abstinence, increasing
the number of teen parents who return to school, increasing options for self-sufficiency,
and reducing the need for Child Protective Services. The program operates in
all 46 counties.
Additionally, DSS, in collaboration with community partners, provide education, training and leadership development skills to adolescents throughout the state for the purpose of reducing the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies. Programs are designed to provide age appropriate curricula to adolescents that improve decision-making skills, discourage premature sexual activities and reinforce abstinence goals.
(ii) Summarize below, the State programs and activities directed at encouraging the formation and maintenance of two-parent families (TANF purpose 4):
The Department of Social Services is actively involved in discussions and research in an effort to appropriately address the fourth TANF purpose of encouraging the formation and maintenance of two-parent families. The State Director has convened several meetings to discuss the agency’s core values related to this subject. Out of these meetings, a workgroup was constituted for the purpose of researching the issue and making recommendations for programs and activities to address this issue. Client focus groups were organized to gather additional input for the development of any programs and activities.
The following initiatives have been implemented or have been identified as areas we plan to develop in order to meet the fourth purpose of TANF:
1. Making brochures on marriage available in waiting rooms.
2. Inclusion of Marriage and Relationships into the Family Skills curriculum.
3. Development of a Marriage and Fatherhood Questionnaire in the process of
assessing family needs.
4. The submission of two Marriage Promotion grant applications to ACF.
5. Formation of a “Grant Workshop” to research issues regarding
marriage and to serve as a first response team for RFP’s.
6. Participation in several ACF sponsored Marriage, Fatherhood, and Strengthening
Families conferences throughout the year.
7. Regular meetings with local groups to form a statewide collaboration to address
issues related to encouraging healthy marriages.
8. Identification of appropriate resources to referrals for counseling and mediation
services for married couples and others who express an interest.
9. Developing and disseminating an RFP requesting quotes for inexpensive relationship
counseling services.
10. Reviewing access and visitation programs for possible incorporation into
FI to encourage the formation of two parent families where feasible and appropriate.
11. Developing resources for referrals to stress management courses for “two
parent” cases to relieve stress on marriage from economic difficulties.
12. Reviewing Family Life Skills to add appropriate curricula on marriage and
healthy relationships.
13. Meet with parents after paternity has been established to discuss access,
visitation, healthy relationships and family formation.
14. First Things First Campaign.
15. Providing First Things First brochures and posters to parents and children
of all ages at the presentations.
16. Provide schools, churches and other organizations brochures and posters
upon request.
17. Promoting First Things First program by displays at various events.
18. Marriage Promotion Initiative, Early Intervention Project with Sisters of
Charity.
(9) An estimate of the total number of individuals who have participated in
subsidized employment under §261.30(b) or (c) of this chapter.
Number of individuals who have participated in subsidized (as defined) employment
= 0 *
* This number does not include DSS sponsored On-the-Job Training that provides

2. Description of the Major Program Benefits, Services, and Activities.
Major Program Benefits
The Family Independence Program: South Carolina’s TANF program that provides
assistance to needy families with children and provides parents with job preparation,
work, and support services to enable them to leave the program and become self-reliant.
It is the policy of the State of South Carolina that personal responsibility
and parental responsibility must exist if citizens are to attain independence.
The welfare system is based upon a reciprocal agreement between welfare recipients
and taxpayers because it is to the benefit of the citizens of the State to transition
recipients from welfare to work. The State will temporarily support needy parents
if they will undertake appropriate steps to attain employment and self-reliance.
Family Independence assists families to become economically independent, provides
tools to achieve and maintain self-reliance, and deters abuse of the system
through fair and meaningful sanctions.
The Family Independence Program is built around the two primary components:
(1) Work Program & Self-Reliance
The program provides temporary financial assistance and work training and education programs that lead to individuals' social and economic independence.
(2) Prevention Programs
Prevention programs focus on (a) teen pregnancy prevention, (b) strengthening and maintaining intact families, (c) assisting in the reunification of troubled families, and (d) providing short-term services and resources to resolve crisis situations that might result in welfare dependency.
Specialized Training and Rehabilitation: South Carolina has also implemented a Separate State Program to serve families that meet specific identifiable criteria that requires specialized employment and training activities and expectations.
The Separate State Program, known as the Specialized Training and Rehabilitation (STAR) program in South Carolina, is designed to serve TANF eligible individuals who are determined to be permanently and totally disabled, or who face health related problems that prevents the adult’s ability to fully participate in the TANF work activities. The incapacity may be of the FI adult recipient, or of a dependent child of the recipient or an adult relative whose incapacity requires the adult recipient to provide in home care. The incapacity may be physical or mental, and must be verified by a physician or other health professional.
A major advantage of the STAR program is the ability of the casemanager to assist the client by allowing participation in more appropriate work activities without the constraints of TANF work participation requirements and/or time limited benefits.
In order to be included in the STAR program, the incapacity of the adult recipient must be permanent and total, or prevent his/her ability to fully participate in FI work activities for a period of 90 days or more, or to be required in the home to care for a disabled dependent child or adult relative for a period of 30 days or more.
The determination of disability may be made through a combination of Physician Statements or documentation from other health professionals, Screening and Assessment tools, and participation in Vocational Rehabilitation or other programs intended for adults dealing with disabilities. If the accumulation of verification information leads the CM to conclude that the participant will be unable to fully participate in the FI work activities for a period of 90 days or more, the case would be placed in the STAR program.
Depending on the abilities of the STAR participant, the STAR casemanager may provide the recipient with the same FI work activity opportunities as those clients participating in the FI work program, even though special accommodations may have to be made. In addition, any support services payments offered to participants in the FI work program must also be offered to STAR participants.
STAR participants are broken down into three categories, A, B, and C.
Category A participants are recipients who experience a disability severe enough to prevent full time participation in the FI Work Program, but not to the extent that all work and training activities are prevented.
Category B recipients are those who experience a permanent or total disability severe enough to prevent most full or part-time employment or training activities.
Category C recipients are those who are responsible for the care of a disabled family member that would prevent full-time participation in the FI work program for a period of 30 days or more.
In the STAR program, an individual sanction may be imposed on those recipients identified in Category A that fail to comply with the employability portion of their family plan.
STAR does not allow full-family sanctions for those failing to comply with the work program, and does not permit individual work program sanctions for Categories B and C.
Services
SCDSS is committed to providing support services for clients based on individual
needs. Child care and support services are available to assist an applicant
of the FI program in order for them to conduct the two week initial job search,
and obtain or maintain employment.
Also, clients participating in an approved educational activity, training activity, Job Club, Job Search or who have become employed may receive support services. Support services include, but are not limited to, child care, transportation, prescription eyeglasses, medical exams, automobile repairs/car expenses, parenting programs, safety equipment, criminal records checks, and relocation assistance. Support services include coordination with other agencies for services such as alcohol and drug counseling, health services (non-medical treatment), housing services, vocational rehabilitation, mental health services and referral services, at no cost to the agency.
Activities
Per TANF restrictions, countable activities for the FI Program include:
• Employment
• On-the-Job Training
• Work Experience
• Community Service
• Child Care for Community Service
• Job Readiness Activities
• Vocational Education
• Job Skills Training

• Satisfactory School Attendance
The STAR Program allows all the above activities without the TANF restrictions.

To provide employment retention and advancement activities to employed clients to enhance job skills and promote career advancement.
To provide emergency assistance to or on behalf of needy children under age 18 and other family members where the children are the subject of abuse or neglect or have been in substitute care and can be reunited with their families.

9. Financial Eligibility Criteria for Receiving MOE-funded Program Benefits or Services
The resource limit for all liquid resources and real property, excluding homestead property, is $2500 for applicant and recipient units.
Provided the benefit group has passed the 185% gross income limit test, the State will disregard from earned income:
(1) 50 percent of the monthly gross countable earned income of each individual whose needs are included in the budget group for the first four months in which earned income is countable. This disregard can be received only once in 24 months.
(2) $100 per month from gross countable income of each individual whose needs are included in the budget group, for the remaining months of eligibility after the four months in (1) above have been exhausted.
The earned income of any minor in the benefit group is excluded in the eligibility and benefit determination.
Interest and dividend income up to $400 per year per benefit group is disregarded in the eligibility and benefit determination.
The eligibility criteria for non-assistance services to needy families are
as follows:
Services will be provided to needy families whose income is equal to or less
than 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Guidelines issued by the U.S. Department
of Health and Human Services. There is no resource test in order to receive
these services.
Services such as the following will be available; however, some of them may only be available on a pilot basis in selected counties. Intensive casemanagement and treatment services for low income women (and their children) who are in need of addiction services for alcohol or other drug abuse. Preschool programs will be offered with services that assist parents in promoting optimal early childhood development, school readiness, and in reducing the risk of children developing major physical, developmental and learning problems. These programs will help ensure that children arrive at school ready to learn and will increase the likelihood of eventual self-sufficiency. After school and summer programs will be offered to students with services that provide students with basic and remedial educational services, recreational activities, life skills classes, enhancement of self-esteem, health education and parental involvement activities. A unified literacy program, incorporating components from early childhood education, adult literacy or adult basic education, and parenting education programs, will be made available to low income clients. Other services to be provided include psychological evaluations, family and group counseling, casemanagement including home visitation, and community based assessment to determine the type of crisis intervention necessary to maintain the family or to expedite family reunification.
