A representative from the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services would like to hear from States that are utilizing, "Providing Child Care for An Individual Who Is Participating in Community Service" as an actual work activity. Do any States have materials on this activity that they are willing to share?

A representative from the Tennessee Department of Human Services would like to know how other States deal with the situation if a parent misses a work activity due to child sickness? While the agency grants the parent a good cause exception not to attend an activity if the child is sick, it still impacts the work participation rate. This is especially true when there is an virus/bacteria outbreak in a Day Care Facility.

A representative from the Arkansas Division of Public Assistance would like to know what states currently, or plan to, consider TANF participants in a countable work activity if they are providing childcare for the child of another TANF participant engaged in unpaid work activities?
