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 PASSParents Achieving Self-Sufficiency I childcare assistance and supportive services during a month for which they refuse cash.

 

A month for which the family refuses the ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program 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 OJTOn the Job Training may request to enter refused cash status because their ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program benefit is reduced to a small amount by their earnings. Their OJTOn the Job Training earnings may also cause their ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program case to close, or they may wish to continue to receive a small ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program benefit. The amount of their earned income from their OJTOn the Job Training directs their options and choices. For more information, please see ATAPAlaska Temporary Assistance Program MS 759-7 or WSPMWork Services Procedure Manual MS 1005.
