When the Employment Service Provider (ESP) determines that a participant has failed, without good cause to accept any bona fide offer of suitable employment, quit a job of 30 or more hours per week or reduced work effort to less than 30 hours per week, the ESP must inform the county eligibility worker. The eligibility worker will follow SNAP policy requirements in Combined Manual 0028.30.09 (Refusing or Terminating Employment).

For information regarding suitable employment, see Combined Manual 0028.18.03 (Suitable/Unsuitable Work).

Using information provided by the ESP and any information the participant presents, the county eligibility worker must make the final determination of good cause for non-compliance with requirements. If the county eligibility worker determines that the participant had good cause for refusing to accept suitable employment, a sanction must not be imposed.

For information regarding good cause, see Combined Manual 0028.21 (Good Cause Non-Compliance-SNAP/MSA/GA/GRH).

Participants are expected to participate in and complete the activities specified in their employment plan. Exit the person’s SNAP E&T record in Workforce One within 60 days of non-engagement. The record should be exited within 60 days of failed contact and a corresponding exit date entered. If the participant is time-limited or is a SNAP eligible student based on enrollment in SNAP E&T, the employment service provider must also communicate this with the county or tribal point of contact.
