VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT ELIGIBILITY DETERMINATIONS OF SOCIAL SERVICES AND BENEFIT LEVELS
10/24 VOLUME V, PART XIII, PAGE 12
Example
A one-person household, subject to the Work Requirement, received its three initial months of benefits during January, February and March. (The household was subsequently denied or it would have been denied because of the Work Requirement if an application had been filed.) A reapplication is filed on June 11 showing that the applicant started to work on May 17. It is projected that the applicant will have completed 80 work hours on June 15. Benefits must be prorated from June 16 if verification supports the claim that a minimum of 80 hours has been completed within the 30-day period.
Proration of benefits from a date other than the application date, for the situations described here, is appropriate only when an entire household is penalized through disqualification or ineligibility. Individual household members must be reconnected to the ongoing case at the beginning of the month following the end of the sanction period or the date eligibility is regained.
