Who Can Apply
To qualify for these services, applicants must meet certain federal income guidelines. The Program Year 2015 annual household income limit is $14,713 for an individual and $19,913 for a couple. The allowable income amount increases with each additional family member by $5,200.
We have selected a group of local agencies to provide services statewide. Those designated service providers will help you determine if you are eligible and then handle all aspects of your participation in the program.
What Happens Next
Once your eligibility has been determined, we'll help arrange a community service assignment for you.
You will receive the federal or state minimum wage, whichever is higher. Sometimes the local prevailing wage for similar employment is used if it is higher than the minimum wage.
You can also receive the following benefits: physical examinations, personal and job-related counseling, job training and future job placement.
