·
When
information is received that a school age child is no longer in school,
contact the caretaker to determine if the information is correct or if there
is good cause for failure to meet school attendance requirements.
A formal conciliation is not
required in this instance. ·
Do not
reduce the grant if the caretaker provides supporting information within 10
days to establish good cause. ·
Initiate a
reduction in benefits and send the Notice of Adverse Action if the caretaker
cannot be contacted or does not provide proof of good cause. ·
Reduce the
grant the first month following the month of adverse action. ·
Remove the
20% sanction from the budget calculation the first possible month following
compliance if/when school attendance is met.
This would be the next month for all changes made prior to recurring
month processing and the second subsequent month for all changes made after
recurring month processing. If the
compliance is verified before the recurring processing and the grant amount
has not been recalculated, issue an auxiliary payment for the month(s) the
cash payment is in error. |
