The TANF Eligibility Worker may revert to open a case during the Month of Ineligibility if the sanctioned individual and the household remain otherwise eligible for TANF and:

1. The TANF Eligibility Worker is informed by JOBS or Tribal NEW that an individual started a Proof of Performance (POP) prior to the Month of Ineligibility and subsequently completed it; or
2. An individual timely reported a change that occurred prior to the Month of Ineligibility which resulted in the individual being exempt; or
3. An individual provided information which resulted in approval of the good cause request prior to the Month of Ineligibility.

 

Once the TANF case has been reverted to open, the TANF Eligibility Worker must enter the sanction cure date equal to the last day of the Sanction Penalty Month. The TANF Eligibility Worker should contact the JOBS Employment Contractor or Tribal NEW Coordinator immediately to inform them that the individual’s case was reverted to open and the individual’s current JOBS status. The TANF Eligibility Worker may share this information with the JOBS Employment Contractor or Tribal NEW Coordinator by telephone, email, or through the use of an SFN 323 – JOBS Status Change.
