A representative from the County of San Diego, Health and Human Services Agency would like to learn about strategies for working with families who have "timed off," now that they are considered "work eligible" under the new federal TANF law?

Are any states using TANF or MOE funds to provide cash assistance and/or support services to non-custodial parents?

Can other states provide best practices around serving two-parent families on their caseloads?

Can any states share their screening tool for pre-screening customers for barriers like AoD, Mental Health, domestic violence? We are looking for a tool to help screeners identify if a customer needs a full diagnostic assessment in the areas of AoD, MH or any further services to eliminate any barriers to employment.

We currently administer the TANF funding for the Domestic Violence Programs in the state. I would like to know how other states are enforcing reporting requirements. Specifically, how funds are applied to services provided and how data is collected. Are there definitions to the required reporting elements? Thank you.
