Nevada’s good cause includes unavailability of care for children ages 6 through 11, discrimination by an employer based on age, race, sex, color, handicap, religious belief, national origin, or political beliefs, work demands or conditions that make continued employment unreasonable (e.g., not being paid on time, seasonal/tourist type employment, etc.), a change of job, illness of the participating member or another household member, enrollment (at least half time) in a recognized school, training program, or institution of higher education that requires the head of household to quit a job, household emergency, relocation to another county or political subdivision because of another household member's employment or school enrollment, resignations by people under 60 years old that the employer recognizes as retirement, a job change that later does not materialize or results in employment of less than 30 hours a week or weekly earnings of less than the federal minimum wage multiplied by 30 hours, a habitual job change (e.g., migrant work or construction habitually require workers to move from one employer to another) and/or an unsuitable job. Nevada defines unsuitable employment as the wages are less than the highest of the applicable federal minimum wage; or – eighty percent of the federal minimum wage, if the federal minimum wage is not applicable, the average hourly wage based on piece-rate is less than minimum wage, the household member, as a condition of employment, must join, resign from, or not join a labor organization, the work is at a place subject to a strike or lock-out at the time of the offer (Exceptions: – the strike has been enjoined under Section 208 of the Labor-Management Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 178-Taft Hartley Act); or – an injunction has been issued under Section 10 of the Railway Labor Act (45 U.S.C. 160)), the degree of risk to health and safety is unreasonable, the household member is physically or mentally unfit for the job, the commuting time from the household member's home to the job is more than two hours a day, the distance from home to the job is unreasonable because, after considering commuting time and costs, the member earns less than minimum wage, the distance to the job prohibits walking, and transportation is unavailable, the job is outside the member's usual line of work. (This applies only during the first 30 days and does not apply if the member voluntarily quits a job). Describe the State agency's process to determine good cause if there is not an appropriate and available opening for an E&T participant. Nevada is a voluntary state and does not disqualify participants for circumstances where the State agency determines that there is not an appropriate and available opening within the E&T program to accommodate a mandatory participant. 1/29/26, 9:18 AM State Plan NV FY26 - Original Submission https://dam-fns.usda.gov/sites/default/files/microsite/snapet-nvfy26stateplan//index.html 34/77
