The Pathways to Work plan is a written plan for recipients who are subject to the Work Program or who volunteer for Pathways to Work. The plan is supposed to list your job and life goals and the services and supports you need to get to those goals, including child care and transportation help. See 106 C.M.R. § 707.110; Appendix E (DTA Online Guide Links).

• Make sure the Pathways to Work plan does not set an unrealistic timetable or subject you to costs you do not want to pay.
• Ask DTA to change your plan if it is not working out.

Contact your local legal services program, Appendix D, if DTA will not approve your plan for what you want to do, if DTA wants you to do an activity you do not want to do, or if DTA will not change your plan. You can also appeal any of these DTA decisions. See Part 8: Appeal Rights.
