NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance- TA and SNAP Employment Policy Manual

Section 385.13- Page 12 Rev. 3/2022 • For the second instance of voluntary quit or reduction in work effort without good cause, a period of 90 days (3 months) and thereafter until the individual complies with SNAP requirements as determined by the district; • For the third and all subsequent instances of voluntary quit or reduction in work effort without good cause, a period of 180 days (6 months) and thereafter until the individual complies with SNAP requirements as determined by the district. The sanction period for applicants is counted by number of days, (i.e., 60 days from the date of application and thereafter until the individual complies.) The sanction period for recipients is counted by months, (i.e., 1 month beginning with the first month following the expiration of the 10-day adverse action notice period, and thereafter until the individual complies.) The ineligibility lasts until the sanction period has elapsed and until the individual:  complies with employment requirements as assigned by the district; or  becomes exempt from work registration; or  secures a comparable job. Eligibility may be reestablished during a disqualification and the individual, if otherwise eligible, may be permitted to resume participation in the SNAP program if the individual becomes exempt from work registration requirements. Individuals who were or would have been exempt from work registration at the time of the voluntary quit, except in the case of an exemption for full time employed, are not subject to voluntary quit provisions. Individuals who are dismissed from federal, state or local government for participating in a strike are considered to have voluntarily quit without good cause. If an individual quits a job, secures new employment at comparable wages or hours and is then laid off or, through no fault of his own, loses the new job, the individual must not be disqualified for the earlier quit.
