(10/01/16 - 11/30/16)
The PI, spouse(g) of the PI or other adult in the home who is financially responsible for the dependent child may be eligible for an STBL hardship extension when there is no readily available or affordable transportation in his/her area, which would allow the participant to work or engage in work activities.
 
Verification includes, but is not limited to:
 
Bus route tables
Area maps
Documentation including distances to areas of possible employment
 
NOTE Verification must be provided that supports the transportation determination.
 
When verification of the hardship extension reason is received, follow the procedures in LIBL Hardship Extension Keying Procedures and STBL Hardship Extension Keying Procedures.
 
When verification of the hardship extension is not provided, follow the procedures in LIBL Hardship Procedures Extension Requests and STBL Hardship Procedures Extension Requests.
 
WARNING
When the participant provides verification that does not support the hardship extension request, deny the request for hardship extension.
