The federal review period is from 10/1 through 9/30 each year. QC will notify the case manager in writing of SNAP non-cooperation and the period of ineligibility. If the household reapplies during the ineligible period wishing to cooperate, advise the customer to contact QC. If the household fails to cooperate and reapplies after the ineligible period, the household will be subject to 100% verification of ALL eligibility requirements, even those that are not questionable. Due to the requirement to provide 100% verification these households are not eligible for expedited services until eligibility has been reestablished. Notify QC of: • terminations due to lack of cooperation with QC; and • re-application during a QC determined ineligible period. 170 SNAP VOLUNTARY QUIT – INTAKE AND ONGOING (toc) If the applicant or participating household reports the loss of a source of earned income, determine whether the individual voluntarily quit their job. 171 APPLYING VOLUNTARY QUIT (toc) Voluntary quit procedures do not apply to people who: • Meet federal SNAP E&T exemptions; • End a self-employment enterprise; • Resign a job at the employer’s demand; • Are currently on strike; • Quit to take an equal or better job (See E&P MS A-800); or • Obtain a job comparable to the one that was quit. A job considered comparable if it involves: o equal or increased salary or hours; or o fewer hours or smaller salary, with the belief the new job offers better chances to improve job skills or better advancement opportunities. • Have good cause for terminating employment or reducing their work hours (See E&P MS A-800 for good cause reasons).
