Case manager self-assessment: Part 3 answer key


There are no right or wrong answers for Part 3 of the “Financial Empowerment
Self-Assessment” because it helps you identify the financial products or services with which you
have had experience. If you have not used some of these products or services that your clients
may use, you may need to learn more about them. Use the materials in Modules 7, 8, and 9 to
learn more about products, services, and financial service providers. You may also find it
beneficial to review those modules even if you have experience with the products, services, and
financial service providers.
