Philadelphia would like to find out the methods other states use to track client participation (hours) once they have obtained employment and are in the job retention phase of participation. Philadelphia must obtain pay stubs or a letter from the employer verifying hours, but this is very challenging. Do other states use any other methods, and if so, what are they? Thanks.

Can states give examples of any best practices or innovative strategies to re-engage clients in sanction status?
