130.18 Determination of Voluntary Quit (continued) B. Applicant Households

a. Determine whether any unemployed household member who is required to register for work or who is exempt because the individual is working a minimum of 30 hours weekly or receiving weekly earnings at least equal to the federal minimum wage multiplied by 30 hours, has voluntarily quit a job within the last 30 days. If the case manager learns that a household member has lost a source of income after the date of application but before the household is certified, the case manager must determine whether a voluntary quit occurred. i. Advise the household of: 1. The reason for the denial of benefits for the individual; 2. The length of the disqualification period; 3. The individual’s right to reapply at the end of the disqualification period; and 4. The individual’s right to a fair hearing. ii. The individual disqualified for quitting a job will remain ineligible for the length of the disqualification period even if the individual joins a new household.

H. If an application for SNAP benefits is filed in the last month of the disqualification period, use the same application for denial of SNAP benefits in the remaining month of the disqualification and certification for any subsequent eligible months.

130.19 Exemptions from Voluntary Quit Provisions Voluntary quit provisions do not apply to persons who are exempt from Work Registration (as described in Section 130.5) at the time of the quit except when the individual is exempt because they are working a minimum of 30 hours per week or receiving weekly earnings at least equal to the federal minimum wage multiplied by 30 hours.
