010.02(A)(i)(1)(a) QUALIFICATION FOR AN EXEMPTION.

If the parent qualifies for an exemption at any time during the sanction period, the exemption will be granted and the sanction will be lifted. If during the first month of the penalty period, the Aid to Dependent Children will resume effective the first day of the month during which the parent qualifies for the exemption. If after the first month of the penalty period, the Aid to Dependent Children is prorated from the date of the new application for Aid to Dependent Children. If the needy caretaker relative, guardian, conservator, or dependent child qualifies for an exemption, the exemption will be granted and the sanction will be lifted. The Aid to Dependent Children for the individual is prorated from the date the individual qualifies for the exemption. Once a sanction has been lifted due to the participant qualifying for an exemption, the sanction cannot be re-imposed once the individual no longer qualifies for the exemption.
