Senior Community Service Employment Program
(SCSEP)The Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) will
play a lead role in older worker initiatives and in the development
and implementation of Montana’s strategies to address the issues
of older workers. The SCSEP provides employment services to adults
age 55 and older who:
1) have an income below 125% of the federal poverty
level,
2) are unemployed,
3) are residents of the state of Montana,
and
4) have poor employment prospects.
The employment services include
comprehensive training, case management, and a part-time community
service training assignment. The goal of the program is to transition
participants into unsubsidized employment earning a self-sufficient
wage. Montana SCSEP GranteesIn Montana, three of the 13 national organizations
have been awarded grants to serve within the state. Those three organizations
are Experience Works (formerly known as Green Thumb), the USDA Forest
Service, and the National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA). The Governor
of each state also has a grant with the USDOL to utilize SCSEP funds.
In Montana, the funds are administered through the Department of Public
Health and Human Services, Senior Long Term Care Division with a contract
to Experience Works, Inc. to provide SCSEP services.Counties served,

MONTANA SENIOR EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
COORDINATION PLAN for 2005-2006
Introduction
According to the report THE STATE OF AGING IN MONTANA 2001, conducted
by the Montana Senior and Long Term Care Division of Public Health
and Human Services, Montana is expected to have the 3rd highest proportion
of elderly in 2025. The report further states, “In the next
30 to 40 years, we will experience a dramatic increase in the number
of elderly persons in our population. While growth can be seen as
a great achievement in the effort to extend human life, it also presents
challenges as well as opportunities for Montana government in planning
to meet the needs of an aging population.” This plan is only
a part of determining how the aging population can best be served
by SCSEP employment and training dollars.
Section 1. Plan Participation
The Montana Senior Employment Services Coordination Plan was developed
through the combined input of representatives from the following
SCSEP grantees and members of the Aging and Workforce Systems in
the state:
Montana Department of Public Health & Human
Services (DPHHS)
Experience Works, Inc.
U. S. D. A. Forest Service (USFS)
National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA)
Montana’s One-Stop Areas - Concentrated Employment Program and
the Balance of the State. (See Attachment I. Montana Workforce Investment
Areas - Map)
The plan was made available for the following groups to become involved in providing review and comments to improve services for older workers:
· Area Agencies on Aging
· Community-based organizations serving older individuals
· Business organizations
· Labor organizations
· Other interested organizations and individuals, including SCSEP participants
Section 2. Organizational Involvement
The Montana Senior and Long Term Care Division coordinated the development
of the Senior Employment Services Coordination Plan. Each SCSEP grantee
operating in the State provided input on the contents of this plan
and all were provided the opportunity to make comments on the plan
draft, and asked again for written comments on the final plan.
The following were asked to provide the opportunity to contribute written comments and recommendations to improve the plan:

Section 4. State Coordination Plan Provisions
A. Basic distribution of SCSEP Positions within the State:
The Equitable Distribution Report for Montana is found in Attachment
II of this Plan. Montana has always paid special attention to complying
with the distribution of authorized positions with regard to the location
of the eligible population and the current distribution of people being
served.
The current Equitable Distribution Report is based on the authorized positions awarded to the State of Montana by the Department of Labor as a result of the competitive grant awards that became effective July 1, 2004.
Montana has a total of 395 authorized positions: Experience Works serves in 45 Montana counties with 237 national authorized positions and 77 state positions, the US Forest Service serves in 22 counties with 61positions, and the National Indian Council on Aging (NICOA) serves in 7 counties with 20 positions. Currently the following counties are over served:
Cascade 1
Flathead 1
Gallatin 1
Madison 1
Missoula 3
Petroleum 1
Rosebud 5
Yellowstone 1
The following counties are under served:
Big Horn -3
Jefferson -1
Lincoln -4
Sanders -2
Treasure -1
Avoidance of Disruptions
When new Census data become available indicating that there has been
a shift in the location of the eligible population or when there
is over-enrollment for any other reason, positions must be shifted
in a gradual manner and unsubsidized employment encouraged to make
positions available for eligible individuals in the areas where there
has been an increase in the eligible population. These shifts must
occur in a manner that avoids disruptions. The Department of Labor
does not define disruptions to mean that participants are entitled
to remain in a subsidized community service position indefinitely.
Objective 1. Basic Distribution of SCSEP
Positions within the States
Move positions from over to underserved areas in a manner that avoids
disruption to achieve equitable distribution.
Action Step 1. Review inequities and identify opportunities to move toward
equitable distribution in conjunction with the SCSEP funding for the
2005-2006 program year and submit to the U. S. Department of Labor.
Estimated Date of Completion: September 30, 2005
Action Step 2. Encourage unsubsidized employment
of participants who are job ready and located in over-served counties.
Estimated Date of Completion: March 31, 2006
Action Step 3. Develop additional host agencies
in underserved counties to expand training opportunities for eligible
participants.
Estimated Date of Completion: On-going
B. Rural and Urban Populations:
Montana is a very large, rural state with significant barriers the SCSEP
grantees have to confront on an on-going basis. There are shortages
of quality host agencies that can provide the training matching to
the employment goals for participants. There are shortages of ‘senior
friendly’ employers that have a presence in the rural areas
and are seeking new employees from the SCSEP population. The economy
in some of the counties is depressed. Public transportation is non-existent
in the rural areas. It is very difficult to recruit both eligible
participants and develop host agencies due to distance, language,
transportation, etc. The challenges in rural areas are ongoing and
usually take more time to develop and monitor to assure that the
SCSEP participant’s training needs are met. This requires additional
resources for staff time and travel.
Objective 2. Rural and Urban Populations
Equitably serve SCSEP participants in both rural and urban counties across
the state.
Action Step 1. Identify inequities specific to rural areas that can be
changed or address with SCSEP grantees and promote the development of
new host agencies and employment opportunities for participants
Estimated Completion Date: March 31, 2006
C. Special Populations:
Information in Attachment III in the appendix illustrates a county-by-county
breakdown of the statistical information for the older population
at or below 125% of the federal poverty level.
§ “Greatest economic need” is defined as those older persons at or below the poverty level established by the USDOL, and is interpreted to identify those people with the greatest economic need.
A statistical comparison of census data for Montana low income seniors compared to current SCSEP enrollment in the State of Montana is as follows:
Age Group and Poverty Level % Census (%)
Montana SCSEP (%)
55-59 18.03 13.73
60-64 16.38 21.57
65-69 11.80 27.45
70-74 12.88 21.57
75 or Over 40.91 15.69
Below Poverty 100.00 85.04
§
“Minorities” include: American Indian or Alaskan Native, Asians,
Black or
African Americans, Hispanic or Latino Americans, and Native Hawaiian
or Other Pacific Islanders.
A statistical comparison of census data for the Montana low-income seniors to current SCSEP enrollment in the State of Montana is as follows:
Origin Census (%) SCSEP (%)
American Indian 6.33 11.0
Asian/Pacific Islander .41 0.22
Black .18 0.00
Hispanic 1.11 0.67
White 91.51 88.11
§ “Greatest social need” means needs caused by non-economic factors. It includes persons with physical and mental disabilities; language barriers; and cultural, social or geographic isolation, including isolation brought about by racial or ethnic status.
a. Persons with physical/mental disabilities and language barriers.
A statistical comparison of census data for the Montana low-come seniors to current SCSEP enrollment in the State of Montana is as follows:
Census (%) SCSEP (%)
Disabled 56.7 25.6
Limited English 1.16 n/a
b. Veterans and qualified spouses of Veterans:
A statistical comparison of census data for the Montana low-income seniors to current SCSEP enrollment in the State of Montana is as follows:
Census (%) SCSEP (%)
Veterans 20.92 25.49
Objective 3. Special Populations
Recruit and serve individuals with the greatest economic need, who may
have personal barriers to employment including but not limited to,
a disability, limited English language skills, isolation due to cultural,
social or geographic isolation.
Action Step 1. Review grantee data to determine effectiveness at service
special populations under the SCSEP.
Estimated Completion Date: March 31, 2006
Action Step 2. Expand recruitment efforts
targeting non-traditional groups such as ex-felons returning to the
community and needing training to get a job in the local community.
Estimated Completion Date: On-going
D. Type of Skills.
Many SCSEP applicants come in with very few up-to-date workplace skills.
Most individuals come to a SCSEP grantee with outdated skills. For example,
they might be able to type but not have skills or experience with updated
computer systems. Further, some applicants have not finished high school
and many have basic literacy problems with some being completely illiterate.
This includes deficiencies in reading, writing and arithmetic.
A statistical comparison of education census data for Montana low-income seniors compared to current SCSEP enrollment in the State of Montana is as follows:
Census (%) SCSEP (%)
8th Grade or Less 19.16 5.65
Grade 9-11 20.00 11.05
High School Graduate 32.48 39.31
1 – 3 Years of College 17.36 28.74
College Grad of Higher 10.89 15.25
Objective 4. Types of Skills
Establish community training assignments that provide skill development
that meets both the needs of the participant and local employer.
Action Step 1. Offer each SCSEP participant who has not graduated from
high school or possess a GED with the opportunity to complete training
to acquire this level of education.
Estimated Completion Date: On-going
Action Step 2. Work with the host agencies
to assure their cooperation in assisting with the development of this
area of the participants’ skills.
Estimated Completion Date: On-going
Action Step 3. Develop better access to the
local One-Stops for participants needing additional skill development
outside of the SCSEP.
Estimated Completion Date: On-going
E. Community Service Needs
The types of community services most often requested in Montana include
clerical (particularly computer skills), receptionist and janitorial
assistance for community service non-profits; city, county and state
governments; libraries, non-profit or public hospitals; smaller museums
in rural areas, nutrition assistance at senior centers; and schools in
rural areas.
Objective 5. Community Service Needs
Identify host agencies that will provide training assignments that will
lead to better-paying jobs for older workers.
Action Step 1. Review current information on community service opportunities
to determine how they maximize participants development leading to unsubsidized
employment.
Estimated Completion Date: December 30, 2006
Action Step 2. Develop a report that will be shared with all SCSEP grantees
on findings.
Estimated Completion Date: June 30, 2006
F. Coordination with the Workforce Investment
Act.
Montana has established two workforce investment areas, the Concentrated
Employment Program (CEP) and the Balance of the State (BOS). Experience
Works is a signatory on the Memorandum of Understanding with the workforce
investment boards. (See Attachment I. Montana Workforce Investment Areas – Map).
The blanket MOU is in the process of being updated to address the regulatory
changes in the SCSEP. (See MOU Checklist, Attachment V.)
All SCSEP participants are required to register with the local Job Service Workforce Center. (See Attachment IV Montana Job Service Workforce Center Directory.) SCSEP grantees refer older workers that do not meet the eligibility criteria to the Job Service Workforce Center programs for potential training, support services and job search assistance. The SCSEP grantees coordinate with the Centers to assure that older individuals are referred for determining eligibility for SCSEP services.
The network of partner programs in Montana’s One-Stop delivery system has established the marketing identity of “JobLINC”. Local community management teams (CMTs) comprised of workforce investment partner agencies, private sector business and community leaders guide community level coordination and integration of partner programs.
Objective 6. Coordination with the Workforce
Investment Act
Objective 6. Improve coordination with the two established workforce
investment areas and the Job Service Workforce Centers throughout the
state.
Action Step 1. Review the current MOUs and update as required under the
2004 SCSEP regulations.
Estimated Date of Completion: December 31, 2005
Action Step 2. SCSEP grantees will met with managers of the Job Service
Workforce Centers to develop procedures for participants to have access
to the workforce investment services.
Estimated Date of Completion: December 31, 2005
Action Step 3. SCSEP grantees will attend Workforce Board meetings and
Community Management Team meetings within travel budget constraints.
Estimated Date of Completion: On-going
Section 5. State Plan Recommendations
§
Continued coordination between SCSEP and the Area Agencies on Aging (AAA’s)
is expected of all SCSEP grantees. Experience Works continues to coordinate
with Montana Aging Service Bureau Chief, Charles Rehbein, and the AAAs
to see how the groups can improve working together to provide additional
opportunities for older workers who are seeking better paying jobs off
the program.
§
State Vision and Goals: As part of Montana’s Senior Employment
Services Coordination Plan, goals need to be obtainable. Older workers
in the rural areas have additional challenges to obtaining and keeping
jobs. The goals need to include traditional and “non-traditional” training
settings designed specifically to individual capabilities and needs.
Part-time employment needs to be included as meeting the performance
standard under WIA adult programs to accommodate those individuals who
want to or may be able to work only part-time. It is important that older
persons, especially low-income older persons, are offered work opportunities
in both the public and private sectors.
