VA VIEW - Good Cause

If you are a VIEW participant who has good cause for noncompliance, you will not be sanctioned.

Good cause will exist if:

· Your inability to fulfill program requirements is due to circumstances outside of your control or is the result of a change in circumstances over which you had no control.

NOTE: This includes situations in which the reason for your non-compliance was that you or another household member had a disability that was not sufficiently addressed. The VIEW worker must allow you 30 days to verify the disability prior to referring you for sanction.

· Acceptable child care is not available when necessary for you to accept employment or enter or continue in the program. To be acceptable, the child care must meet all of the following criteria:

(1) The child care must be arranged:

(a) by you, or

(b) if you cannot arrange for the child's care, it must be arranged by the local department of social services with a legally operating provider;

(2) The child care must be within a reasonable distance from your home or work site. This means that the travel time from the child's home to the child care provider and the work site is generally no more than one hour, based on transportation available to you;

(3) The child care arrangements must be affordable. This means the cost of the child care is less than or equal to the payment amounts specified in the Child Day Care Services policy (Volume VII, Section II, Chapter D); and

(4) If the child care is with a relative it must meet the requirements for relative care in the Child Day Care Services policy (Volume VII, Section II, Chapter D).

· Accepting employment would result in a net loss of cash income for the assistance unit. Net loss of cash income would result if the family's gross earned income, less necessary work related expenses, was less than the TANF check you were receiving at the time the offer of employment was made.

Prior to imposing a sanction the supervisor must review the circumstances of the proposed sanction to ensure that the participant has been screened for disabilities or screening has been offered and refused, reasonable accommodations have been provided if needed, and the agency has attempted to notify the client verbally. The supervisor must not approve the sanction if any of these steps have not been taken.
