 Complete the noncompliance record by either completing the Loss of Employment screen for job quit or voluntarily reducing hours or by entering the noncooperation information on the Noncooperation Summary screen. The DHS-2444, Notice of Employment And/Or Self-Sufficiency Related Noncompliance, will be generated upon the next run of EDBC, which will also schedule the triage appointment at the local office and place the client into disqualification pending the negative action period.  The following information will be populated on the DHS-2444: The name of the noncompliant client. The date of noncompliance. All the dates, if addressing more than one incident of noncompliance. The reason the client was determined to be noncompliant. The disqualification that may be imposed. The scheduled triage appointment, to be held in person or by phone, within the negative action period.  Hold the triage appointment/phone conference to determine good cause prior to the negative action period. Good cause can be based on information already on file with MDHHS or the RC. If the client does not attend the triage meeting, determine good cause based on the information known at the time of determination. Good cause must be considered even if the client does not attend, with particular attention to possible disabilities (including disabilities that have not been diagnosed or identified by the client) and unmet needs for accommodation. Note: The MDHHS specialist must inform the RC, either by phone or email of the triage appointment date and time so they may attend.  Bridges will automatically apply and track member disqualification penalties based on the data you enter on the Non-Cooperation - Details screen.
