4.1 FSET Enrollment Process
The FSET enrollment process includes orientation, assessment, and development of an individualized employment plan. During this process, the FSET agency also provides participants with detailed program information, including participant rights and responsibilities. The agency also works with the participant to identify eligibility for supportive services and provide needed referrals to other service programs and community resources outside the scope of FSET, as needed.
FSET participants may face barriers that make it difficult to access the FSET agency, including limited access to transportation, computers, and telephones. Providing reasonable accommodations and supportive services to FSET participants is required to enable the participant to enroll and participate in FSET activities. Reasonable accommodation includes using community resources to provide transportation if available or traveling to a mutually agreed upon location that is conducive to providing confidential services to the participants. FSET agencies are required to provide translation services for FSET participants with limited English proficiency.
Enrollment in FSET for the sole purpose of accessing supportive services is not allowable. Supportive services are only allowable if the cost is reasonable and necessary in order to complete FSET activities. See section 5.0 Supportive Services.
Example: Kim began completing coursework to become a pipe fitter prior to being referred to FSET. When Kim meets with her FSET case manager for enrollment and orientation, she indicates that she is not interested in participating in any FSET activities and only needs child care for her four-year-old child while she attends school. Kim should not be enrolled in FSET unless she chooses to participate in an FSET activity other than the educational program in which she is already enrolled.
