001.04(E) REFUSAL TO ACCEPT A BONA FIDE JOB OFFER OR VOLUNTARY QUIT.

If an individual refuses to accept a bona fide job offer or voluntarily quits employment within 60 days before an application is filed, any time after the application is filed or after the household is certified, the individual or the entire household may become ineligible for the Supplement Nutrition Assistance Program, pursuant to the disqualification’s timeframes referenced in this section, unless they are able to claim good cause. The household cannot claim good cause for refusing a bona fide job offer due to not meeting the drug test requirement. The following conditions do not constitute a refusal to accept a bona fide offer or a voluntary quit: (i) Employer offered employment of less than 30 hours per week or less than an equivalent of 30 hours times the federal minimum wage; (ii) Program recipient-initiated changes in employment status which do not result in reducing hours of employment to less than 30 hours per week for the same employer; (iii) Terminating a self-employment enterprise; or (iv) Resigning from a job at the employer’s demand.
