4004.4 Earned Income Disregards - Reducing Employment

Official source

Earned income disregards (the standard allowance for work expenses, dependent care costs, "$30.00 & 1/3", and $30.00 disregard) are not deducted from earnings when a recipient quits a job without good cause, or reduces earnings without good cause. The month in which disregards are not deducted counts as one of the four (4) consecutive months if the individual would have been eligible for the "$30.00 & 1/3" disregard. Good cause for reducing earnings includes circumstances beyond the individual's control such as, but not limited to illness, illness of another family member requiring the wage earner's presence, a household emergency, the unavailability of transportation, or the lack of adequate child care. Good cause for terminating employment includes those circumstances listed above. It also includes: 1. Discrimination by an employer based on age, race, sex, handicap, religious belief, national origin, or political belief. 2. Work demands or conditions that are unreasonable such as working without being paid on schedule. 3. Acceptance of other employment or enrollment at least half- time in a school, training program or college. 4. Resignations by persons under the age of 60 which are recognized by the employer as retirement. 5. Leaving a job in connection with patterns of employment in which workers move from one employer to another as in migrant farm labor or construction work.
