At the time a household applies for TANF, the TANF Eligibility Worker must determine whether a TANF household member refused a bona fide offer of employment or terminated employment, without good cause, within 30 days prior or equal to the date the TANF Application is filed. The day prior to the TANF Application date counts as day 1 of the 30-day period.

 

Voluntary quit or refusal of employment provisions will not apply:

1. If the quit occurs anytime after the date of application;

2. To an individual being added to an ongoing case;

3. To a minor dependent child(ren); or

4. Upon receipt of a new application when the household was eligible for a TANF benefit in the month prior to the new Application/Request for Benefit date (even if the benefit amount was zero). Since there is no break in assistance for a full calendar month, the case is considered an ongoing case.
