Section 408(b) ( 42 U.S.C. 608(b) ) is amended to read as follows: The State agency responsible for administering a State program funded under this part or any other State program funded with qualified State expenditures (as defined in section 409(a)(7)(B)(i)) shall conduct a comprehensive assessment of the skills, prior work experience, barriers to employment, and employability of each recipient of assistance under the program who is an adult or a minor child head of household (and, at State option, any other adult who is a member of the household of such recipient). On the basis of the assessment made under paragraph

The State agency shall comply with paragraphs
(1)and (2)— not later than October 1, 2017, in the case of an individual who, as of October 1, 2016, was a recipient of assistance under a State program described in paragraph (1); and within 60 days after the individual is determined to be eligible for assistance, in the case of any individual not described in subparagraph (A). The State shall meet with each individual with respect to whom an individualized employment plan is required under this subsection, not less frequently than every 6 months as long as the individual is receiving assistance under the State program described in paragraph (1), to— review the individualized employment plan developed for the individual; discuss with the individual the progress made by the individual in meeting the benchmarks and goals specified in the plan; and update the plan, as necessary, to reflect any changes in circumstances of the individual in the preceding 6 months. In addition to the review required under paragraph (4), at any time an individual with respect to whom an individualized employment plan is created under this subsection may request, and the State shall consider, a modification of any of the contents of such plan. .
