FOOD AND NUTRITION SERVICES CERTIFICATION ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FNS 255 VOLUNTARY QUIT AND VOLUNTARY REDUCTION
4 Section 255 Change #17-2021 September 20, 2021 EXAMPLE: A FNS applies in June. An individual is currently employed; however, she voluntarily quit a job in May that was for 40 hours per week. The new job is for 20 hours per week. She quit because she did not want to work full time. Apply the voluntary quit penalty.
255.03 GOOD CAUSE FOR VOLUNTARY QUIT AND VOLUNTARY REDUCTION
Good cause reasons for voluntarily quitting a job include: A. Discrimination by an employer based on race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, or political beliefs. B. Work demands or conditions that render continued employment unreasonable, such as not being paid on schedule or being required to work overtime and not being paid for it. C. Acceptance of another offer of employment as long as the new job meets the minimum requirement of this provision (30 or more hours per week or earnings equivalent to federal minimum wage times 30 hours). D. Enrollment at least half-time in any recognized school, training program, or institution of higher education which requires the FNS to move. E. Resignation by the member under the age of 60 which is recognized by the employer as retirement. F. Acceptance of an offer of employment of 30 hours or more per week (or equivalent earnings) which because of circumstances beyond the control of the member does not materialize or results in employment which does not meet the suitability criteria specified in 255.04. G. Leaving a job in connection with patterns of employment. For example, migrant farm laborers or construction workers often go from one employer to another. If this type of FNS unit applies for FNS benefits between jobs because work is not yet available at the new work site, consider this good cause for quitting the last job if it is the pattern of that type of employment. H. Circumstances beyond the member’s control. This includes, but is not limited to, illness of the member or another family member requiring the member’s presence, household emergency, or unavailability of transportation.
