FEP and FEP TP Drug Testing
Beginning August 1, 2012 all Family Employment Program (FEP) and Family Employment Program Two-Parent (FEP-TP) applicants will be required to complete a substance abuse screening questionnaire as part of the eligibility process. This questionnaire is used to determine their likelihood of a substance use disorder involving the misuse of a controlled substance. When the FEP or FEP TP case is opened, those who score as having a high probability of substance use disorder will be required to register for and complete a random drug test at one for the approved DWS drug testing locations. Those who test positive on the drug test for the misuse of a controlled substance will be required to follow an employment plan that includes receiving treatment for substance use disorder and testing negative on subsequent drug tests.
