• The TANF benefit will be recalculated without consideration of the needs of that individual, but the individual’s income, if any, will be considered in the grant calculation for a period of six (6) months from the date of the quit (or reduction in hours).

At the time of application and at all subsequent redeterminations, an electronic interface between the Department of Workforce Development (DWD) and the eligibility system will accomplish Work Registration for all able-bodied individuals aged 18 and over who are applying for, or receiving, TANF benefits for themselves and their dependent children.

The registration is automatic and requires no initial action on the part of the registrant. The eligibility worker must, however, inform the applicant/recipient during the eligibility interview that the registration will occur.

Note: If an AG includes more than one participating adult, there will be more than one registrant.

Non-parent caretaker relatives who are not requesting or receiving TANF benefits for themselves will not be included in the interface. 2440.00.00 COOPERATION WITH QUALITY CONTROL (S)

Any individual who refuses to cooperate with Quality Control's (QC) investigation may be assessed a penalty by QC. The individual cannot be certified for SNAP within the QC non-cooperation penalty period indicated on the QC referral unless the AG cooperates before the end of the QC review period. If the individual cooperates, the DFR will be notified by QC. QC non-cooperation results in the ineligibility of the entire AG. The DFR will be notified by QC of this non-cooperation.
