R 400.3611 Subsequent applications for food assistance benefits after application denial or case closure due to comparable penalty.

Rule 11. If a group whose food assistance benefits were denied or whose case was closed due to the imposition of a comparable family independence program penalty or disqualification applies for food assistance benefits, but not cash assistance, then the following provisions apply: (a) If the denial or closure was due to the failure to meet a family independence employment-related activities requirement, then the mandatory food assistance participant who caused the penalty for disqualification shall complete a willingness to comply test. If the mandatory food assistance participant does not complete the willingness to comply test, then he or she is disqualified as specified in R 400.3610. (b) If the group is eligible, then the begin date for benefits shall be set to assure 1 month's loss of benefits.
