C-825-4-SNAP - PR Information Reported by Quality Control (QC)

1. Quality Control (QC) notifies the local office that a household has refused to cooperate with the QC review process by sending the Quality Control Refusal to Cooperate Notification (QC 9RTC).

A report of non-cooperation received from QC is considered a change that is verified upon receipt. Follow policy in C-1313-SNAP and send advance notice of adverse action informing the household their case will be closed on the expiration of the advance notice of adverse action unless they cooperate with QC. The worker must complete the “TO BE COMPLETED BY THE PARISH OFFICE” section of the QC 9RTC originally sent by QC and return to the QC reviewer the same day the case action is completed. If during the advance notice of adverse action period the client indicates willingness to cooperate, contact the QC reviewer immediately or before the expiration of the advance notice of adverse action. If the expiration of the advance notice of adverse action falls on a weekend or holiday, treat the following workday as the expiration day.
