010.02 ACTION FOLLOWING NONPARTICIPATION.

Before imposing the first or second sanction, the recommendation is reviewed by two Department supervisors. The recommendation for imposing a third sanction must be reviewed by two Department supervisors and approved by a second level Department supervisor. If the participation issue is resolved or good cause is established, no action is imposed. The sanction recommendation must be reviewed to ensure that the Department representative has: (1) Reviewed the contracted activities to assure that they are reasonable and appropriate; and that they are consistent with the participant’s physical and mental abilities; (2) Discussed the nonparticipation issue with the participant to determine whether there was good cause for his or her failure to refusal to participate; and (3) Worked with the participant to assist them in removing any barriers to participation.
