# Example 1: Employment Support Program Refers an Applicant to a SP Program ### Process Flow This example illustrates how the [](https://standards.spdci.org/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/wip-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 "mention") process can be implemented. During the assessment, if an employment program officer determines that an applicant could also benefit from social services, they request the applicant’s consent to share their details with the SP programs and refer them for benefit consideration. Referral to the social assistance program does not guarantee enrollment; the decision to enroll the referred individuals is made by the social protection program based on whether they meet the program eligibility criteria. The example implementation combines processes [prs.emp.01-referral-of-social-protection-program-beneficiaries-to-employment-support-programs](https://standards.spdci.org/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/wip-employment-support-systems-and-sp-system-interface/1.-crvs/1.2-process/prs.emp.01-referral-of-social-protection-program-beneficiaries-to-employment-support-programs "mention") and [prs.emp.05-status-verification-for-compliance-monitoring](https://standards.spdci.org/standards/dci-standards/employment-support-systems/wip-employment-support-systems-and-sp-system-interface/1.-crvs/1.2-process/prs.emp.05-status-verification-for-compliance-monitoring "mention"). **Process Flow:**
