010.02(A) FAILURE TO PARTICIPATE IN EMPLOYMENT FIRST.

If the parent fails or refuses to participate in Employment First without good cause, the result is the loss of Aid to Dependent Children cash assistance for the entire family. In a two-parent family, failure or refusal to participate in Employment First without good cause by one parent will result in the loss of Aid to Dependent Children for the entire family. If the needy caretaker relative, guardian, or conservator who is not a parent fails or refuses to participate in Employment First without good cause, the result is the removal of the caretaker’s needs from the Aid to Dependent Children unit. If a dependent child age 16, 17, or 18 fails to attend school and fails or refuses to participate in any other Employment First component without good cause, the result is the removal of the child’s needs from the Aid to Dependent Children unit.
