(d) Any WFNJ applicant/recipient who fails at any time to cooperate with any of the WFNJ program eligibility requirements without good cause shall render some or all assistance unit members ineligible for WFNJ benefits. (See N.J.A.C. 10:90-11.11 regarding intentional program violation disqualification penalties.) 1. An applicant/recipient who cooperates fully with the conditions of eligibility listed in (a) above, but who has a non-cooperating 16 through 18 year old dependent child as a member of the assistance unit, shall not become ineligible for WFNJ/TANF assistance, nor shall other members of the assistance unit become ineligible for WFNJ/TANF assistance. The non-cooperating 16 through 18 year old dependent child does, however, become ineligible for WFNJ/TANF assistance until such time as he or she complies. (e) Any WFNJ recipient who fails at any time to participate in work activities without good cause shall lose cash assistance benefits in accordance with the sanction provisions at N.J.A.C. 10:90-4.13. The individual may re-apply for WFNJ benefits; however, the individual must satisfactorily complete any outstanding sanction obligations and demonstrate compliance with a work activity, in accordance with N.J.A.C. 10:90-4.11 and 4.18, in order to qualify for cash assistance.
