11.6.1.2 Determining the Date of Refusal to Participate

The date of refusal to participate is the date that the participant demonstrated the refusal to participate.

EXAMPLE 1 : The W-2 agency arranges an interview for a participant with an employer on March 18, and the participant was a no-call, no-show to the interview. On March 22, the FEP learns that the participant did not show for the interview. The date of refusal to participate is March 18.

EXAMPLE 2 : A participant fails to participate in assigned activities and their May and June W-2 payments are reduced by 20% or more for two consecutive months as a result. At W-2 Pulldown, CWW issues letter Notice of Potential W-2 Payment Reduction (NWSN) to the participant with a good cause due date of June 6. The participant does not submit good cause by June 6. The date of refusal to participate is June 6, the final date that any good cause can be received for the 20% or more payment reduction.
