010.02(A)(i)(2) LIFTING OF SANCTION.

Once a sanction is imposed, Aid to Dependent Children cannot be reinstated unless the participant qualifies for an exemption or exhausts the minimum penalty period prescribed for that sequence of sanction and fulfills the participation requirement. The participant must engage in the component activity or activities included in his or her Self-Sufficiency Contract or in another activity mutually agreed upon for a minimum of five consecutive work days in order to demonstrate his or her willingness to participate. The participant may receive supportive services while engaging in the required activity or activities. If the individual does not complete the five days of activity, his or her request is no longer valid. If the parent successfully fulfills the participation requirement, the sanction will be lifted and the Aid to Dependent Children prorated from the date of the new application for Aid to Dependent Children. If the parent submits a new application for Aid to Dependent Children before the minimum penalty period has been served and successfully fulfills the participation requirement, the Aid to Dependent Children will resume the first day of the month following the end of the minimum penalty period. If the needy caretaker relative, guardian, conservator or dependent child successfully fulfills the participation requirement, the sanction will be lifted, and the Aid to Dependent Children for the individual will resume effective the date he or she requested the sanction be lifted.
