Good cause for leaving employment or reducing work hours.

(i) Prior to any action to deny or terminate eligibility, the social services official must determine whether there was good cause for terminating employment or reducing the hours of work to a total of less than 30 hours per week. In determining whether or not good cause exists, the social services official must consider all relevant facts and circumstances, including information submitted by the individual who quit or reduced his/her hours and by the current or former employer of such member. A determination of good cause will be made where the social services official finds that employment was terminated due to:

(a) discrimination by an employer based on age, race, sex, color, handicap, religious beliefs, national origin or political beliefs;

(b) work demands or conditions that rendered continued employment unreasonable, such as not being paid on schedule;

(c) acceptance by the individual of employment or enrollment of at least half-time in any recognized school, training program or institution of higher education, that required the individual to leave employment;

(d) acceptance by any other household member of employment or enrollment at least half-time in any recognized school, training program or institution of higher education in another county or similar political subdivision which required the household to move and thereby required the individual to leave employment;

(e) resignations by persons under the age of 60 which are recognized by the employer as retirement;

(f) acceptance of a bona fide offer of employment of 30 hours per week or which on a weekly basis yields earnings of at least 30 times the Federal minimum wage but which, because of circumstances beyond the individual’s control, subsequently did not materialize or which resulted in employment of less than 30 hours per week or which pays less than 30 times the Federal minimum wage on a weekly basis;

(g) leaving a job in connection with patterns of employment in which workers frequently move from one employer to another such as migrant farm labor or construction work; and

(h) resignation from a job which is unsuitable pursuant to the criteria specified in paragraph (15) of this subdivision.
