OLGT 2023-71: TAFDC: Supporting Clients in Learnfare Engagement

DTA continuously strives to provide guidance to local office staff that supports the needs of DTA clients and assists them in accessing and maintaining their benefits. Learnfare policy can result in grant reductions, but the goal of the policy is to ensure children are attending school regularly. Updates have been made to the Online Guide to clarify and streamline Learnfare procedures that promote engagement with clients to support individuals and families who are required to meet these rules as well as changes to ways a family can verify good cause, excused absences and rules around who is exempt from Learnfare.
