First Online Policy Manual Sanction Failure of
Other AU Children to Attend School |
Revised: |
34.6 |
POLICY STATEMENT |
|
|
|
Assistance unit children (and SSI children)
must attend school, unless good cause is established (see the previous
section for a discussion about minor parents). Failure of any or all AU children to attend school, without good
cause, will result in a 20% sanction to the AU cash payment. The sanction will remain in effect until
the AU is in compliance with the school attendance requirements. The budget will have the 20% reduction
removed the first possible month following compliance. If other sanctions are imposed on the AU at the time the 20% sanction
is imposed, the 20% sanction will be applied to the net grant payment. For example, if the AU has an IPV
disqualification or a minor parent sanction, the school attendance sanction
will be applied to the net grant after the other disqualifications or
sanctions. If the AU also has a 20%
sanction for immunizations/health check, the AU will have two separate
reductions, or 40%, from the net grant. |
