If an individual is not exempt or been granted good cause, the sanctioned individual may complete a Proof of Performance (POP) during the Sanction Penalty Month.  

1. When the sanctioned individual begins and successfully completes their POP in the Sanction Penalty Month, the sanctioned individual’s financial needs will not be included in the grant for the Sanction Penalty Month.  However, the individual will not be required to serve the Month of Ineligibility.

Note: The TANF Eligibility Worker must enter a cure date equal to the Sanction Penalty Month.

1. If the TANF Eligibility Worker does not process the case until after the case closed, the case will need to be reverted to open and a cure date equal to the Sanction Penalty Month entered. (See Section 400-19-90-40 for information regarding Reverting to Open a JOBS or Tribal NEW Sanction Progressed Closed Case.)

When the sanctioned individual begins a POP in the Sanction Penalty Month and successfully completes it in the Month of Ineligibility, the sanctioned individual’s financial needs will not be included in the grant for the Sanction Penalty Month. However, the individual will not be required to serve the Month of Ineligibility.

Note: The TANF Eligibility Worker must enter a cure date equal to the Sanction Penalty Month.

• Since the TANF Eligibility Worker could not process the case until after the case closed, the case will need to be reverted to open and a cure date equal to the Sanction Penalty Month entered.

A sanctioned individual’s needs cannot be included in the grant during the Sanction Penalty Month even if the individual completes the tasks necessary to cure the sanction.
