8.4 PENALTY FOR FAILURE TO APPLY FOR OR RETAIN BENEFITS WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE The penalties apply only when development and retention are a condition of eligibility. See Section 8.2. The penalty imposed depends upon the source of the potential resource and who fails to meet the requirement, as follows. Note: For WV WORKS benefits, a client who fails, without good cause, to develop and retain potential resources as identified in the Personal Responsibility Contract (PRC) or Self- Sufficiency Plan (SSP), has failed to adhere to the terms of his PRC/SSP.
For ongoing cases, failure to comply without good cause will result in a sanction being imposed.
