Ending a voluntary quit or reduction in hours disqualification.

(i) An individual may reestablish eligibility after the end of his/her disqualification period if he/she applies and is otherwise eligible, and if he/she:

(a) complies with the requirements of this section and of this Part as determined by the social services district; or

(b) secures new employment which is comparable in salary or hours to the job which was quit; however, comparable employment may entail fewer hours or lower net salary than the job which was quit; or

(c) becomes exempt from SNAP work requirements pursuant to section 385.3 of this Part.

(iii) Except in cases of permanent disqualification, following the end of a disqualification, if an application for SNAP benefits is filed in the final month of the mandatory disqualification period, the social services district shall use the same application for the denial of benefits in the remaining month of disqualification and for the certification for any subsequent month(s) if all other eligibility criteria are met.
