IPAM Series Training
The Introduction to Public Assistance and MAXIS (IPAM) Series consists of several different learning activities that must be completed prior to attending other cash, SNAP, and health care courses. The IPAM Series sets the foundation for county income maintenance staff just beginning their careers working with public assistance programs and the eligibility and payment systems used for these programs. The IPAM Series replaces the Pre-IPAM web based training as well as the 2-day IPAM classroom training and is available in the Training Toolkit on DHS-SIR.
The activities in the series can all be completed at the county agency. It is HIGHLY recommended that a supervisor, mentor or lead worker assist new staff through the series of activities and be readily available to answer any questions staff may have as they complete each activity. To assist supervisors, mentors, and lead workers in this process an IPAM Series Guide has been developed and is available in the Training Toolkit on DHS-SIR.
Training Toolkit
The Training Toolkit, located on SIR, contains resources to assist Eligibility Workers in their daily work. It contains online class materials, workbooks, guidebooks, and self-directed PowerPoint presentations. It also includes required materials for some training courses including sections of the IPAM Series.
