780-17 REFUSAL OF PAYMENT
A family has the right to refuse any cash benefit they are eligible to receive. The family remains eligible to receive PASS I childcare assistance and supportive services during a month for which they refuse cash.
A month for which the family refuses the ATAP cash benefit does not count as a month of assistance for purposes of the 60-month limit.
There are two primary situations where a household would want to be in refused cash status:
Note:
A client that is participating in OJT may request to enter refused cash status because their ATAP benefit is reduced to a small amount by their earnings. Their OJT earnings may also cause their ATAP case to close, or they may wish to continue to receive a small ATAP benefit. The amount of their earned income from their OJT directs their options and choices. For more information, please see ATAP MS 759-7 or WSPM MS 1005.
