SIGNING THE PRP |
|
|
|
·
If an adult
or the minor parent who is the caretaker of his/her own
AU refuses to sign the PRP, the entire AU will be ineligible for Families
First benefits. Note:
Refusal to sign a PRP does not
result in a Food Stamp penalty for an applicant. No penalty can be applied if the case was
not approved for Families First. ·
If a minor
parent who is a dependent child in the AU refuses to sign a PRP, his/her needs will be removed from the AU. ·
If an adult
refuses to sign the PRP at application and there is no minor parent in the
AU, the case will be denied. ·
If an adult
refuses to sign the PRP at application and there is a minor parent in the
home, the AU will fail and the case will trickle to create a Families First
AU for the minor parent. If the minor
parent agrees to sign/comply with the PRP, a case can be established with him/her
as the caretaker for himself/herself and his/her child. ·
If the adult
later decides to sign and comply with the PRP, he/she can reapply at any
time. ·
If an adult
agrees to sign the PRP and the minor parent in the home (who is not a
caretaker) refuses to sign, the AU will not fail. If the adult in an active AU refuses to sign the PRP,
the AU will be closed and TCC will be set.
Minor parents in the AU who wish to apply for Families First for
themselves and their children can do so. ·
An
Authorized Representative cannot negotiate, renegotiate or sign a PRP on
behalf of a participant. This activity
must be done with each AU adult and minor parent who is caretaker of his/her
own case. |
