19.36 Sanction Reviews and Outreach

ISSUE DATE: 09/2020

Review circumstances when participants have been in sanction for at least 2 months.

Review the case file to determine if the employment plan is still appropriate:

This includes:

  • · Determining whether the participant has a good cause reason for not complying. See 19.9 (Good Cause).
  • · Considering whether a pre-employment activity would help the participant address challenges that have prevented compliance. Participation in these activities could cure the sanction.

  • Case note the review of the employment plan and what was learned.

  • · Reach out to participants in sanction.
  • Make sure the participant understands what must be done to come back into compliance.

  • · Schedule a meeting with sanctioned participants as soon as possible to discuss ways to cure the sanction.
  • · Coordinate efforts with the eligibility worker and other appropriate county, tribal or community agency staff in planning a strategy to assist the family.
  • · Record in case notes all contact with the participant and the outcome of team meetings dealing with the sanctioned participant.
  • · Continue to try to make contact at least once a month, even if the participant does not respond.
  • · Provide the client every opportunity to cure the sanction and offer the necessary support and assistance.
  • · Revise the plan if it is not possible to comply with activities in the current plan or the Notice of Intent to Sanction (NOITS).
