i. If treatment is indicated, the recipient shall be required to actively attend that program during the two-week intent to comply period in order for the sanction to be removed. Continuation of the mental health activity will become the recipient's mandatory work activity. Failure to participate as designated shall cause the individual's sanction to proceed as scheduled. (1) Before the individual's sanction is reinstated to proceed as scheduled, the WFNJ worker shall contact the recipient's Mental Health Case Manager for a determination of whether the recipient's noncompliance was due to his or her mental health problems. If the Mental Health Case Manager concludes that the recipient's non-cooperation was a result of his or her mental health barriers, then the recipient shall not be sanctioned and shall be offered the opportunity either to continue participating in MHI or be assigned an alternate activity.
