ACL 11-72E: Change In Sanction Policy Period For Refusal To Cooperate In A Quality Control Review (6/5/12)
A correction to ACL 11-72, which gave incorrect information about the sanction applied when a household member(s) refuses to cooperate in a QC review. The ACL should have stated that if an existing CalFresh household contains a household member(s) who refuses to cooperate, the entire household will be discontinued from the CalFresh Program, not just the individual. If the person who didn’t cooperate moves to a new CalFresh household, the full-household sanction would apply to the new household, but the old household’s members, if they had not been part of the non-cooperation could then be aided.
