722-8          OTHER JOB QUIT/REFUSAL OF WORK DISQUALIFICATION INFORMATION

722-8 A.     DISQUALIFICATIONS FROM OTHER STATES

Job quit disqualifications imposed by other states do not transfer to the Temporary Assistance program. An individual is not required to serve the remainder of any other state's job quit disqualification while receiving Temporary Assistance.

722-8 B.     CHANGES IN HOUSEHOLD COMPOSITION

Disqualifications are assessed against individuals. When a disqualified individual leaves or enters an assistance unit, the disqualification follows them.

For applicant households:

If a disqualified individual joins or leaves an assistance unit after the date of application but before eligibility is determined and benefits authorized, this change must be included in the initial determination.

For recipient households:

• If a disqualified individual enters an assistance unit the individual brings their disqualification with them.  Allowing for adverse action notice requirements, the disqualification affects the assistance unit at the start of the benefit month that follows the individual’s entry into the household.
   

• If a disqualified individual moves out of the assistance unit, the remaining members may reapply and be found eligible.  In such cases, benefits may begin the date a new application is received.
