.09 Sanctions - Hopi Tribal TANF
The HFAP office notifies FAA of compliance or noncompliance as follows:
●For an initial application the HFAP office completes Section III of the Hopi Tribal TANF Referral Notice (FAA‑1459A) form and emails the form to
[email protected].
●For an active case the HFAP completes section VI of the Tribal Turn Around Document (TAD) (FAA‑1125A) form and emails the TAD to
[email protected].
When notified of a PRA noncompliance FAA completes the following:
●Reviews sanction history on PRAP and DISA.
●Keys the Sanction Reason Code in the RSN CODE field on DISA for the correct sanction month, allowing for NOAA.
●Sends the NOAA for the correct sanction level. The sanction level on the NOAA must match the sanction level that was imposed on PRAP/DISA.
●Completes the TAD and emails the TAD to the HFAP Office.
●Uploads the TAD to OnBase.
For Hopi Tribal TANF noncompliance, the sanction levels are as follows:
●When the first instance of noncompliance is entered, AZTECS reduces the total cash benefit by 25%. FAA sends the HOPI CA SANCTION 25% (A605) notice.
●When the second instance of noncompliance is entered, AZTECS reduces the total cash benefit by 50%. FAA sends the HOPI CA SANCTION 50% (A606) notice.
●When the third instance of noncompliance is entered, AZTECS stops benefits. FAA sends the CA SANCTION-BENEFITS STOPPED (A607) notice.
The budgetary unit is not eligible for twelve months following the closure month. When a Hopi Tribal member reapplies for Tribal TANF within the twelve months following the 100% sanction, FAA denies the application using the NH Denial Closure Reason Code and sends the HOPI CA DENIAL (A602) notice.
When a Hopi Tribal member applies again within the twelve months following the subsequent instance of noncompliance, FAA completes the following:
●Denies the application using the HT Denial Closure Reason Code
