Upon receipt of the hearing decision, the county shall impose the required penalty whether the case is currently open or closed.

 

Individuals who have committed an IPV will be disqualified from receiving TANF benefits for the following time periods:

• 12 months for the 1st offense.
• 24 months for the 2nd offense.
• Permanently for the 3rd or subsequent offense.

 

The start date of the disqualification period is determined by the Appeals Supervisor. Imposing the disqualification is required even if it means that some individuals may not be affected by the disqualification (e.g. SSI recipient).

 

When a disqualification penalty has been imposed against an individual, the period of disqualification shall continue uninterrupted until completed. When an overpayment exists, regardless of the household’s eligibility for benefits, the household shall continue to be responsible for repayment of the overpayment which resulted from this violation.
