Current Narrative:
The Division of Family Resources (DFR) administers IMPACT Employment and Training program services in all of Indiana’s counties. MAXIMUS, a contracted vendor, provides employment and training services statewide for both TANF and SNAP populations. Individuals are referred to the nearest office for services. Under the contract no state staff are directly involved in providing IMPACT services. DFR staff determines a SNAP recipient’s IMPACT status and authorizes SNAP benefits. DFR Central Office provides administrative oversight. As a way for Indiana to maximize its resources in the talent development space and reduce duplicated efforts, IMPACT will coordinate more closely with WorkOnes regarding training and education.
