When an individual moves from one human service zone to another, participation in JOBS or Tribal NEW is considered a continuation of service and the individual is not treated as a new participant. Individuals must resume involvement in JOBS or Tribal NEW without any break in service.

 

If the individual continues to be serviced by the same JOBS Employment Contractor or the same Tribal NEW agency, a new referral is not required.

 

If there is a change in the JOBS Employment Contractor or Tribal NEW agency, a new referral is required. These individuals must resume involvement in JOBS or Tribal NEW within seven (7) calendar days from the print date of the new referral. An SFN 323, Status of Change must be sent to the previous Tribal NEW agency notifying their agency the recipient is no longer working with their agency.

 

Referrals must be manually mailed to Tribal NEW agencies.

 

When a new referral is applicable, 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.

 

If an individual fails to resume participation with the new JOBS Employment Contractor or Tribal NEW within seven (7) calendar days from the print on the JOBS or Tribal NEW referral, the JOBS Employment Contractor or Tribal NEW Coordinator is responsible to initiate the good cause determination process and recommend sanction, if appropriate.
