The Peer TA Network would like to know if any states have examples of employability and work readiness assessments that they are willing to share? Do Case Managers offer the participant feedback based on the assessment?

The Peer TA Network would like to know if States triage participants to determine which assessments are needed for an individual that walks in the door?

A representative from the Oregon Department of Human Services would like to know if States use client swipe card systems to track and record attending for TANF clients participating in employment, training, and other self-sufficiency activities? If no, why not? If yes:

• How does the system and process works?
• For what other purposes is the card being used (electronic benefit transfer for program benefits)?
• How long has the system has been in place?
• Was it developed in-house or by a vendor?
• How was the system developed, implemented, and what was the timeline?
• What are the benefits of the system (cost savings, reduced errors, workload impact, client and partner convenience)?
• Were there implementation challenges and/or lessons learned?
• Have there been any changes made since implementation
• Are there any quality control procedures to check data?
