Current Narrative:
There will not be a cap placed on the following reimbursements as long as they are reasonable and necessary and funding is available:
- Clothing
- Equipment needed for training/employment
- Drug testing required for employment
- Shoes
- Union dues necessary for employment
- Medical test required for employment
- Licensing and bonding fees for work placement
- Background check/finger printing required for employment
- Other reimbursements may be considered if they are reasonable and necessary for employment/training and are allowable E&T costs
In addition to DHR’s allowances, third-party partners will be encouraged to provide for transportation and other participant expenses that are necessary or are an integral part of the E&T service (e.g., welding masks).
