# PRS.EMP.02: Referral of Employment Support Programs Applicants to Social Assistance Programs

The aim of the [PRS.EMP.02: Referral of Employment Support Programs Applicants to Social Assistance Programs](/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/employment-support-systems-and-sp-system-interface/1.-crvs/1.2-process/prs.emp.02-referral-of-employment-support-programs-applicants-to-social-assistance-programs.md) process is to support employment support program applicants to to access social protection benefits. 

This process enables the exchange of program applicants attributes required by social protection programs to assess eligibility for social benefits. Depending on the program design requirements, the process can be implemented independently or in combination with processes [PRS.EMP.04: Program Updates for  Case Management](/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/employment-support-systems-and-sp-system-interface/1.-crvs/1.2-process/prs.emp.04-program-updates-for-case-management.md)and/or [PRS.EMP.05 Status Verification for Compliance Monitoring](/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/employment-support-systems-and-sp-system-interface/1.-crvs/1.2-process/prs.emp.05-status-verification-for-compliance-monitoring.md). 

The [Data](/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/employment-support-systems-and-sp-system-interface/1.-crvs/data.md)standards section outlines the various data options that can be shared in the referral depending on program requirements and available information. These options include sharing personal details alone, [DO.EMP.01 Person](/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/employment-support-systems-and-sp-system-interface/1.-crvs/data/data-object/do.emp.01-person.md), personal details plus additional demographic information such as education level, family status, and employment history, [DO.EMP.02 Member](/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/employment-support-systems-and-sp-system-interface/1.-crvs/data/data-object/do.emp.02-member.md) or full beneficiary details, including the benefits they are currently receiving, [DO.IBR.04 Beneficiary](/standards/dci-standards/wip-integrated-beneficiary-registry-v1.0.0/ibr/1.-crvs/data/data-objects/do.ibr.04-beneficiary.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://standards.spdci.org/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/employment-support-systems-and-sp-system-interface/1.-crvs/1.2-process/prs.emp.02-referral-of-employment-support-programs-applicants-to-social-assistance-programs.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
