In the TANF program:
(1) The disqualification penalty imposed under OAR 461-135-0085 ends, and cash benefits are restored, on the date any of the following occur:
(a) The Department changes the participation classification of the disqualified individual to JOBS exempt or JOBS volunteer
(see OAR 461-130-0305).
(b) The disqualified individual demonstrates a willingness to engage in treatment required under OAR 461-135-0085 if treatment is still required.
(c) The disqualified individual agrees to engage in JOBS program activities if treatment is no longer required or available.
(d) The household reports that the disqualified individual is no longer a member of the household group
(see OAR 461-110-0201), which ends the disqualification for the individual.
(e) The Department determines the disqualified individual is unable to participate because there are no appropriate activities or no support services
(see OAR 461-001-0025) available to support the activity .
(f) The Department determines the disqualified individual is unable to participate due to a disability
(461-001-0000) that prevents the individual from participating in the JOBS program, or the Department determines a needed and appropriate accommodation was not provided to the individual for a known disability .
(2) The JOBS disqualification penalty imposed under OAR 461-135-0085 ends on the last day of the calendar month following the month of closure when TANF program benefits are closed before any provisions in section (1) of this rule are met. (For example, if TANF benefits close the last day of November during an active third level penalty, the third level penalty disqualification will remain until the last day of December.)
(3) When the disqualification penalty is ended under this rule, later disqualifications begin at the first level (see OAR 461-135-0085).
