WorkFirst Take Back Policy
We understand the continued effects of the pandemic are impacting normal operations, enrollments, and college's ability to fully expend program funds. After careful consideration to the impact the implementation of the Take Back Policy would have on programs and students, the SBCTC will continue the delay of implementation for FY23. We intend to resume the Take Back Policy in FY24. We are committed to providing support to CTC's WorkFirst program administrators during the delayed implementation of the Take Back Policy. WorkFirst staff are available to provide support with budget management and expenditure planning. If you need support, please contact: Deana A. Rader, Program Administrator / 360-704-1837 / drader at sbctc.edu<mailto:drader at sbctc.edu>.

The SBCTC will confirm the decision to delay implementation of the Take Back Policy for FY23 by sending correspondence to college Presidents and Chancellors in August 2022. All grant amounts will reflect the WorkFirst funding formula. For more information about the funding formula, redistribution and Take Back Policy, please access the Program Funding section of the FY23 WFDA guidelines.
