Subcommittee Table of ContentsProgram: Medical Programs Function The Family Employment Program (FEP) helps families with dependent children become self sufficient by helping clients find jobs, and providing financial support to eligible parents. The program may also assist with child-care, and/or disability benefits. Working with an employment counselor, parents develop an employment plan that leads to self-sufficiency. To remain eligible, parents must follow the plan. Funding is from the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) grant and state Maintenance of Effort(MOE) funds. The key principles of FEP are: - It is employment focused rather than benefit based.
- Benefits are time limited. (Most states follow the federal 5-year limit. Utah's limit is 3 years.)
- States are required to meet federal standards for the number of participants meeting federally defined work activities.
Utah has some flexibility to design its TANF assistance programs. Utah can use both the federal block grant and state Maintenance of Effort (MOE) money on anything that accomplishes the broad purposes of TANF including: - Ending welfare dependence;
- Promoting employment and marriage;
- Encouraging two-parent families; and
- Reducing out-of-wedlock pregnancies.
Resources must be spent on eligible families. Funding Detail The Random Moment Time Sampling method of allocating costs is different than other state programs. The standard table is not applicable.
