Impose a sanction when a participant does not do one of the following:

· Comply with the employment services requirements after receiving the Notice of Intent to Sanction.

· Provide information to claim good cause for not complying.

To initiate the sanction process:

1. Send the eligibility worker a status update.

· That can be done using one of the following, according to policy set by local county or tribe responsible for administering MFIP:

· The MFIP Status Update Form (DHS-3165) (PDF).

· A local form.

· Email.

· Another locally established process.

· Include the following information:

· Date of non-compliance.

· The appropriate reason for imposing the sanction on the list on the front of the MFIP Status Update Form.

· The reason given to the eligibility worker must be the same as the reason given to the participant.

2. Case note that a status update was sent.

3. Keep a copy of the status update in Workforce One or the case file.

4. Check to see that the sanction was imposed by using Workforce One interface or MAXIS view.

The eligibility worker will send the participant a notice that a sanction will be imposed.

· This will be a notice of adverse action.

· This notice must be sent at least 10 calendar days before a sanction is imposed.
