Outside Section 12

Employment and Training

SECTION 12. Section 5 of chapter 18 of the General Laws, as so appearing, is hereby amended by striking out, in lines 71 and 72, the words "and shall have a caseload of not more than 60 recipients".



Summary:
This section eliminates the maximum caseload of 60 clients currently required by law for self-sufficiency specialists at the Department of Transitional Assistance. Eliminating this cap will allow the Department to target high risk clients in a more effective manner, without compromising case management services for other clients.
