c. The good cause investigation will consist of an evaluation of information in the case record. When there has been no recent contact with the participant, efforts must be made to determine if the participant has contacted the SNAP E&T worker to discuss the problem, giving a reason for not attending an interview, or for not completing an assignment, or having not kept any program related appointment.

d. A reasonable effort must be made to contact participants. The worker must document that an attempt by telephone or a personal contact has been made prior to terminating the case.

The purpose of this contact is to ensure the participant understands the program and has an opportunity to explain the reason for noncompliance.

e. The SNAP E&T worker may issue a warning to a participant instead of closing the SNAP E&T case when there has been a misunderstanding of the requirements and there have been no prior acts of noncompliance.
