VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES WORK REQUIREMENT
10/25 VOLUME V, PART XV, PAGE 5
Applications filed for nonexempt household members before the completion of the 80 hours/30-day rule must be denied if the 80 hours will not be completed during the month of application. If the 80 hours will be completed during the month of application but after the application filing date, benefits must be prorated from the date after eligibility is established. See Part XIII.D.2 for additional information regarding the calculation of benefits.
Regaining and Maintaining Eligibility
After receipt or authorization of the second set of benefits (Y2), following subsequent periods of unemployment or under-employment (less than 20 hours per week), a nonexempt member must regain (a–b above) and maintain that eligibility by engaging in a work activity as required by Chapter A. During a period of unemployment or underemployment, a nonexempt member is not eligible for benefits. There is no limit to the number of times a member may engage in this regaining-maintaining eligibility cycle.
