Temporary emergency – may be a family emergency, such as illness or disaster, or an emergency related to the job; 4. On call-back to job – such as a temporary layoff or plant shutdown for vacation; 5. No access to transportation – the individual does not have a reliable vehicle, there is no public transportation available, or the individual does not have the resources to use public transportation or buy gas; 6. Homeless, without a fixed residence; or 7. Non-funded E&T county or other exemption approved by State Office. |
