Voluntary Quit, Striker, Reduced Work Effort, Refusal of Job Offer
Both CA and NA programs require participants to comply with
work requirements, unless they meet an exemption.
Voluntary Quit, Reduction of Work Effort and Refusal of Job Offer policies apply when the voluntary quit, reduced work effort, or refusal of job offer occurs during the following:
●Within 30 days before the date of application.
●Any time between the application date but prior to determination.
●Any time during the certification period.
When a CA or NA participant voluntarily quits a job, reduces their work effort, or refuses a job offer, determine whether there is good cause.
When a CA or NA participant within the budgetary unit voluntarily quits a job or reduces their work effort or refuses a job offer without good cause, the following applies:
●The entire CA budgetary unit may be ineligible when the participant who voluntarily quits, reduces their work effort, or refuses a job offer is the CA PI or the TPEP Primary Wage Earner
●The entire NA budgetary unit may be ineligible when the participant who voluntarily quits, reduces their work effort, or refuses a job offer is the NA Lead Participant.
●For NA, when the individual participant who voluntarily quits, reduces their work effort, or refuses a job offer is not the NA lead participant, that participant is disqualified.
●For CA, when the participant who voluntarily quits, reduces their work effort, or refuses a job offer is not the PI, the budgetary unit is sanctioned. (See
VQ PRA Sanction)
