10:87-2.15 Denial of eligibility for non-cooperation

For a determination of refusal to be made by the CSSA, the household must be able to cooperate but clearly demonstrate that it will not take actions that it can take, to do what is required to complete the application process. For example, to be denied for refusal to cooperate, a household must refuse to be interviewed, not merely fail to appear for the interview. If there is any question as to whether the household has merely failed to cooperate as opposed to refused to cooperate, the household shall not be denied.
