Question from Pennsylvania Department of Welfare/Bureau of Employment and Training Programs

Question Text

A representative from the Pennsylvania Department of Welfare/Bureau of Employment and Training Programs would like to know what level of participation is expected of a TANF recipient who claims to be unable to get a job or participate in other core-work activities due to lack of transportation (e.g., no drivers license, no access to public transportation, no car, etc.). Please address:

  • Do States allot time for the individual to make transportation arrangements, or do they provide supports for transportation assistance?
  • What is maximum time allowed to make transportation arrangements?
  • What do States do when transportation solutions are not found during that timeframe (e.g., sanction, case closure, etc.)?
  • What type of transportation subsidies (e.g., upfront mileage, car purchase, cab fare, gas cards, etc.) are offered?
  • What are the maximum benefits provided to the client?
  • For how are long transportation subsidies provided?
