GR 44-406.6 Multiple
Non-Compliance Issues
How are multiple non-compliance issues
handled?
For multiple non-compliance issues (including
GROW issues), all non-compliance issues
occurring for the same effective date must be
resolved prior to reversing the decision to
terminate.
The case must be reviewed while the individual is
in the district office, to ensure all outstanding
issues are addressed.
When non-compliance has been initiated for a
sanctionable reason, such as failure to comply
with employable requirements, and it is the
second or third instance of non-compliance, aid
cannot be rescinded unless good cause has been
established.
Refer to GR 41-412 for details on good cause.
GR 44-406.7 Sanctions
How are sanction-related issues handled?
Hearings for non-compliance issues are held during
extended suspend. Cases are terminated the end of
the previous month unless good cause is determined
and aid is rescinded and sanction/s lifted.
