Any disclosure of domestic violence is voluntary. Applicants/participants who voluntarily disclose domestic violence are to be screened to determine if the disclosure is a current or past domestic violence situation and how the situation affects their ability to participate in the CSE and/or New Employees Of Nevada (NEON) programs.
There are circumstances when requiring a family member to comply with NEON, CSE or eligibility program requirements may endanger or threaten the physical safety of the household. If it is determined a member of the household would be endangered, temporarily waiving participation in a program activity may be necessary.
