When an individual moves from one human service zone to another, participation in Tribal NEW is considered a continuation of service and the individual is not treated as a new participant. Individuals must resume involvement in Tribal NEW without any break in service. The individual who moves must resume their participation within seven (7) calendar days from the print date of the new JOBS or Tribal NEW referral. The day after the referral print date is considered day one of the seven (7) calendar day period. This period shall be extended one working day for each workday the JOBS or Tribal NEW office is closed due to severe weather or other emergencies.

Note: The seven (7) calendar day period shall NOT be extended due to agency closings related to weekends, Federal, State or Tribal holidays.

 

Note: Tribal NEW is also responsible to send a copy of the individual's new Service Plan (SP) to the human service zone within 30 days from the print date of the JOBS or Tribal NEW referral. If an individual's SP is not received within 30 calendar days, the eligibility worker must contact Tribal NEW to request a copy. (Refer to the Tribal NEW Coordinators’ Directory.)

 

If an individual fails to resume participation with the new Tribal NEW Program within seven (7) calendar days from the print on the JOBS or Tribal NEW referral, Tribal NEW shall immediately return the referral to the eligibility worker. The eligibility worker must initiate the good cause determination process.
