If a TANF case progresses to close due to a JOBS or Tribal NEW sanction, an otherwise eligible, sanctioned individual will be required to cure the outstanding sanction following the Month of Ineligibility before anyone in the household may be eligible for a TANF benefit. A new JOBS or Tribal NEW referral must be created as the sanctioned individual must complete a Proof of Performance (POP).

 

A sanctioned individual (JOBS or Tribal NEW) must:  

1. Contact the JOBS/Tribal NEW program within seven days from the print date of the referral and schedule an appointment to begin a POP; and
2. Start the POP as scheduled; and
3. Comply with the requirements of the POP; and
4. Fully complete the POP.

Note: Due to the timeframe to complete a POP, the 30 day application processing timeframe may need to be extended. To prevent the automated computer system from auto-denying the application, the Eligibility Worker must run the HH Comp process in initial mode.

 

If the sanctioned individual successfully completes the POP as required, a cure date equal to the application date is entered and the household is provided a TANF benefit prorated from the application date.

 

If the sanctioned individual fails to complete these tasks, the application shall be denied.
