IMPOSITION OF THE DISQUALIFICATION PENALTY |
|
|
|
A disqualification penalty will be imposed
only after the issuance of a Final Administrative Order finding the
individual guilty of committing an intentional program violation. The period of disqualification starts no
later than the second calendar month following the date of the final
order. In the event that a State or Federal court finds an individual guilty
of having committed an IPV, impose the penalty according to the terms of the
court order. If imposing the penalty,
begin the penalty no later than the second calendar month following
the date of the court order, usually the next recurring month. When the individual’s disqualification results from
a prior receipt of AFDC and/or Families First, and the case is closed,
the disqualification will run as if the person is an active recipient. A notice will be sent to an individual who has been found to have
intentionally violated the Families First program by a final order or has
entered into a consent agreement (as discussed later in this chapter). This notice will include: ·
The period
of disqualification. ·
The amount
of payment the AU will receive during the disqualification period. ·
If the
Families First case is closed, information that the disqualification will run
as if the person was an active recipient. |
