Outcome Services Referral

The outcomes services referral defines who needs to register for work. The eligibility worker creates an outcomes services referral for the client who needs to work register for Cash Assistance or Food Assistance. This referral process is the same whether the referral is generated due to the need for a client to work register based on a condition of eligibility or due to being a voluntary participant in the A&T process.

An outcomes services referral can be generated by the eligibility worker for either new applications and for reassessments.

An outcomes services referral is different from referrals in other areas of the product in that it is a referral from one internal agency to another internal agency. Return to Work Outcome Management activities include referrals to external agencies.

There are two new types of Evidence for v6 related to referrals and Work Eligibility: Non Participation Reason and Work Registration.

• Non Participation Reason - The Non-Participation Reason entity contains a temporary/short-term reason why a client does not need to participate in work registration (called a Non Participation Reason). Cash Assistance federal TANF Data Reports, when available, will use this reason along with Work Eligible Status to calculate the value Work Participation Status.

• Work Registration - The Work Registration entity holds the dates the client registered for work and when registration ends. This entity replaces the Work Requirement entity from 5.2 when Cúram Eligibility Rules (CER) are used.

See the Cúram Evidence Guide for more information.
