001.04(F)(iii) GOOD CAUSE.

Good cause for not meeting the work participation requirement may include, but is not limited to: (1) Illness of the employed household member; (2) Illness of another household member requiring the presence of the employed member; (3) A household emergency; (4) Unavailability of transportation; (5) Recognition of the fact that the employment does not meet the suitability of employment criteria; (6) Discrimination by an employer based on age, race, sex, color, disability, religious beliefs, national origin, or political beliefs; (7) Work demands or conditions that render continued employment unreasonable, such as working without being paid on schedule; (8) Acceptance of employment or enrollment of at least half-time in any recognized school, training program, or institution of higher education that requires the head of household to leave other employment; (9) Acceptance by any other household member of employment or enrollment at least half-time in any recognized school, training program, or institution of higher education which requires the household to relocate and requires other employed household members to leave their employment; (10) Resignations by persons under 60 which are recognized by the employer as retirement; (11) Employment which becomes unsuitable by not meeting the suitable employment criteria after the employment has been accepted; (12) Acceptance of a bona fide job offer which meets the criteria for employment but because of circumstances beyond the control of the head of household, subsequently either: (a) Does not materialize; (b) Results in employment of less than 30 hours per week; or (c) Earnings of less than the federal minimum wage multiplied by 30 hours per week; or (13) Leaving a job in connection with patterns of employment in which workers frequently move from one employer to another, such as in-migrant farm labor or construction work. There may be some cases where households will apply for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits between jobs, particularly when work may not yet be available at the new job site. Even though employment at the new site has not actually begun, the quitting of the previous employment is considered as with good cause if it is part of the pattern of that type of employment.
