11.6.1 Case Closures for Refusal to Participate

The purpose of the refusal to participate policy is to require a standard of conduct from program participants to prepare them for Unsubsidized Employment in the general economy through participation in employment positions in the W-2 program.

The refusal to participate policy applies to the W-2 Employment Position Community Service Job, Trial Employment Match Program, and W-2 Transition s, which include:

TEMP Trial Employment Match Program ;

CSJ Community Service Job ; and

W-2 T W-2 Transition .

The W-2 Group is ineligible to participate in the W-2 program for 90 calendar days if the FEP Financial and Employment Planner determines that:

A participant in a TEMP, CSJ, or W-2 T placement demonstrates a refusal to participate without good cause; or

A second parent in the participant’s W-2 Group who is subject to the work requirement under the two-parent policy (See 14.3 ) demonstrates a refusal to participate without good cause.
