DE Medicaid - Transitional - Good Cause for Quitting a Job

During the second six months of Transitional Medicaid, your family can lose eligibility if a caretaker relative quits a job without good cause.

The Division of Social Services (DSS) defines good cause for terminating employment as:

1. Circumstances beyond the individual's control such as but not limited to illness, illness of another family member requiring the wage earner's presence, a household emergency, the unavailability of transportation, and the lack of adequate dependent care.

2. Instances in which employment was unsuitable such as:

·                    wages offered less than the Federal minimum wage,

·                    employment on a piece-rate basis and the average hourly yield the employee receives is less than the Federal minimum wage,

·                    unreasonable degree of risk to one's health and safety,

·                    the individual is physically or mentally unfit to perform the employment as documented by medical evidence or reliable information from other sources,

·                    the distance from the individual's house to place of employment is unreasonable considering the expected wage and the time and cost of commuting,

·                    the working hours or nature of employment interferes with the members religious observance, convictions or beliefs.

3. Discrimination by an employer based on age, race, sex, disability, religious belief, national origin, or political belief.

4. Work demands or conditions that are unreasonable such as working without being paid on schedule.

5. Acceptance of other employment or enrollment at least half-time in a school, training program, or college.

6. Resignations by persons under the age of 60 that are recognized by the employer as retirement.

7. Leaving a job in connection with patterns of employment in which workers move from one employer to another as in migrant farm labor or construction work.
