Component 19 is to be used while an individual is participating in a treatment or support group to overcome a barrier at any time while receiving Temporary Assistance.

Treatment or support activities may include but are not limited to:

• Day Treatment
• Counseling
• Group Education
• Group Counseling
• Physical Rehabilitation
• Alcoholic Anonymous (AA)
• Narcotic Anonymous (NA)
• Substance Abuse Traffic Offenders Program (SATOP)
• Mental Health Case Management
• Parents As Teachers (PAT)
• Stay at Home Parenting

While participating in component 19, supportive services may be provided as described in Section 0290.000.00 Level II & III Supportive Services.

Treatment/Support Activity does not count in the state's overall participation rate but will count towards the individual's required hours of work participation (30/20).  Participating in a Treatment/Support Activity assists the individual to move their family toward financial stability and self-reliance while receiving Temporary Assistance.

• Review this memorandum and manual change with appropriate staff.

• Begin using Treatment/Support Activity (component 19) immediately for individuals participating in a treatment or support group to overcome barriers to employment.
