VA VIEW - Sanctions

If you fail to participate without good cause in the VIEW Program, and are not exempt, you will be sanctioned by suspending the full amount of your TANF payment for the period of time specified below.

The VIEW worker must advise the TANF eligibility worker of the decision to sanction and number of sanctions that you have previously received, if any.

The eligibility worker then sanctions you unless otherwise advised by the VIEW worker.

NOTE: If the eligibility worker is aware of a reason related to a disability of the recipient or a household member that prevented participation in VIEW, the eligibility worker must advise the VIEW worker so that the VIEW worker can re-evaluate the sanction. If the VIEW worker determines that a disability prevented participation in VIEW, the VIEW worker must advise the eligibility worker to not impose the sanction or to lift the sanction.

The sanction time frames are as follows:

For the first sanction the grant will be suspended for a minimum of one month or until failure to participate ceases, whichever is longer.

For the second sanction, the grant will be suspended for a minimum of three consecutive months or until failure to participate ceases, whichever is longer.

For the third and subsequent sanctions, the grant will be suspended for six consecutive months or until failure to participate ceases, whichever is longer.

NOTE: In determining the length of time that the sanction will be imposed, if the VIEW worker determines that a previous sanction was due to an unaccommodated disability that prevented compliance, the current sanction should be imposed as if the previous sanction had not occurred.

VIEW Time Limit

While a grant is suspended for a sanction period, the assistance unit members are considered TANF recipients for all other purposes. The time clock for VIEW participants continues during the sanction.
