12.6 Ineligibility for Failure to Comply.

A. A nonexempt individual who refuses or fails without good cause (as defined in Rule 12.12 Good Cause) to comply with general SNAP work requirements is ineligible to participate in SNAP and will be considered an ineligible household member. B. MDHS must determine if good cause exists once it learns of the individual’s noncompliance. C. MDHS must provide an individual a notice of adverse action within 10 days of establishing that noncompliance was without good cause. 1. The notice of adverse action must contain the particular noncompliance act and the proposed disqualification period. 2. The notice must specify what actions can be taken to avoid disqualification prior to the beginning of the disqualification period. 3. The notice must also state the individual may reapply, if appropriate, at the end of the disqualification period. Source: 7 CFR §273.7(f)(1) Revised: March 2022
