The deductions in §§
183.94 and
183.95 (relating to eligibility
for TANF earned income deductions; and GA earned income deductions) do not
apply to the budget month income considered for the corresponding payment month
for an applicant or recipient to whom one of the following conditions
applies:
(1) Within the 30-day period
preceding the budget month, the applicant or recipient terminated employment or
reduced his earned income without good cause as defined in Chapter 165
(relating to road to economic self-sufficiency through employment and training
(RESET) program).
(2) Within the
30-day period preceding the budget month, the applicant or recipient refused
without good cause, to accept employment in which he was able to engage which
was offered through the JS, through the CAO or by an employer whose offer is
determined by JS or the CAO to be a bona fide offer and thereby incurs an
employment sanction. Ineligibility for the deductions will apply to the budget
months corresponding to the payment months of the sanction period even if the
disqualifying action has been corrected.
(3) He failed, without good cause, to make a
timely report of the budget month income as specified in Chapters 125 and 142
(relating to application process; and monthly reporting). Good cause includes,
but is not limited to, the following situations: serious illness, accident,
death, physical or mental handicap, illiteracy, language problems or postal
delay, making it impossible to expect that the usual reporting requirements be
met.
