4 of 8 B-1462-SNAP - PR Applying The Disqualification

B-1462-1-SNAP ** PR - At Application or Ongoing Cases

At application or an ongoing case, apply the disqualification by entering the appropriate disqualification using the steps below:

 Navigate to the Non-Compliance/Sanction- Questions screen. If the member has any Non- Compliance/Sanction History in LITE, this question is pre-populated to “Yes”. After clicking the ‘Next’ button on the screen, the user is navigated to the ‘Non-Compliance/Sanction Summary’ Screen and the steps are correctly stated in the policy. If the member does not have Sanction History in LITE, the user must answer “Yes” to the question. After clicking ‘Next’, the user is navigated directly to the ‘Non-Compliance-Details’ screen.

 On the ‘Non-Compliance – Details’ screen, Enter the ‘Start/Change’ Date, ‘Reported On’ Date, ‘Non-Compliance Violation Type’ - SNAP E&T, and Non-Compliance Reason - Failed to Register for Work – HiRE, and the Decision Date. Since the Violation Type is ‘SNAP E&T’, a Good Cause Status/Reason must be entered.

 Enter the ‘Good Cause Status/Reason’ as ‘No Good Cause’ and click the NEXT button.

 The ‘Non-Compliance/Sanction Summary’ screen will display the new sanction in the ‘Non- Compliance Summary’ section of the screen. The sanction will not display in the Sanction Summary section of the Non-Compliance Summary screen until Eligibility Determination is completed on the case action. After Eligibility Determination is run, LITE will automatically populate the Occurrence, Sanction Begin Date, and Program fields on the ‘Non- Compliance/Sanction-Summary’ screen. The sanction will be effective the month following the Expiration Date on the Notice of Decision.

LITE will automatically send a Notice of Decision to impose the sanction. If multiple household members failed to register for work, only one notice is sent.

If the client takes the required action before the Advance Notice of Adverse Action expires, disposition the change, and select ‘Y’ (Yes) to override the closure. **

***

Prior to certification, if a member of the applicant’s household voluntarily quit, reduced their work effort, or refused an offer of employment after the application date, and good cause did not exist, the individual who quit is not eligible for inclusion in the household. * Follow the steps above to apply the disqualification. **
