REFUSING OR TERMINATING EMPLOYMENT

0028.30.09

The sanctioned person will need to reapply for SNAP benefits once the sanction period is over. If the sanctioned person is part of an ongoing case, contact their worker to be added back to the SNAP unit once the sanction period is over.

This provision does not apply if the client meets any of the following:

● The PWE is exempt from work registration, EXCEPT that the exemption for a person working 30 or more hours per week may not be used in this situation.

● The PWE quit self-employment.

● The PWE quit a job at the employer's demand. A federal, state, or local government employee who is dismissed because of participating in a strike is considered to have quit employment.

● The PWE accepted equivalent employment.

For more information, see 0010.08.02 (Mandatory Verifications – SNAP), 0028.03.06 (Determining SNAP Principal Wage Earner), TEMP Manual TE02.10.66 (Voluntary Quit Sanctions).

A PWE sanctioned for quitting a job carries the sanction from 1 assistance unit to another if the person joins another unit as that unit's PWE.

Once started, the sanction period runs without interruption unless any of the following happen:

● The PWE returns to the same job.

● The PWE accepts equivalent employment.

● A new member joins the unit as the unit PWE.

● The PWE becomes exempt from work registration, for a reason other than receiving unemployment compensation.
