10:15-3.5 Refusal of WFNJ/TANF child care benefits

(a) A WFNJ/TANF participant may refuse available appropriate WFNJ child care benefits if the participant can ensure that such refusal will not prevent or interfere with participation in a WFNJ work activity. 1. When child care referrals have been made available to them, refusal of WFNJ/TANF child care benefits may be inferred if the participant does not select a child care provider by the start of a work activity. 2. Refusal of WFNJ/TANF child care benefits shall be documented in the CCR&R case record and reported to the CSSA immediately. 3. In instances where refusal of child care is disputed, it is the responsibility of the CCR&R to show that a minimum of three referrals for appropriate care were made, and it is the responsibility of the participant to document that he or she met with the referred providers in a manner compatible with the activity.
