Sanction

Failure of Other AU Children to Attend School

Revised:

POLICY STATEMENT

Table of Contents

 

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.
