12.7 Failure to Comply with TWP or Unemployment Compensation Work Program.

A. An individual exempt from SNAP work requirements because he or she is subject to TWP or unemployment compensation work program who fails to comply with such programs are treated as if he or she failed to comply with SNAP work requirements. B. If the SNAP household reports a loss or denial of TANF or unemployment compensation benefits, MDHS must determine whether the loss or denial resulted from TWP or unemployment compensation work requirements. C. If MDHS determines that the loss or denial or TANF or unemployment compensation benefits is due to failure to comply without good cause, the individual (or household if applicable-see Rule 12.9 Household Ineligibility) will be disqualified in accordance with Rule 12.8 Disqualification Periods. D. However, if the individual meets one of the other general work requirement exemptions, then the individual (or household if applicable) will not be disqualified.
