As a condition of eligibility for Cash Assistance and Food Assistance programs, many clients are required to register for work though not all clients are required to work as a condition of eligibility. Children and the elderly are generally exempt from this requirement as are some adults. For example, a mother caring for a very young infant or an adult with a disability which prevents them from working may be exempt from the work requirement.
When an eligibility worker who uses Cúram Income Support wants a client to visit an outcome worker who uses the A&T content, the eligibility worker generates a referral to the outcomes agency. Once the client arrives at the outcomes office, the client can register for work then plan for work, educational, or other activities that can help the client to become self-sufficient.
