SB 980 - This act implements provisions to ensure
accountability on the part of the state agency administering
programs that serve low-income families. The act modifies and
expands the self-sufficiency program established in 1994. No
participant in the program may be assigned to any education,
training, or employment program prior to an individualized
assessment relating to skill, experience, and employability.
Department of Social Service staff will work with the individual
to identify the needs of the client in order to meet certain
self-sufficiency criteria.
