Imposing a New CA Sanction
To impose a new CA graduated sanction, a noncompliance notification must have occurred.
For additional information, see one or more of the following:
NOTE For graduated sanctions, when there has been no compliance between sanctions,
AZTECS generates the CA DEAUTH - GRAD SANC ACTS alert at rollover. (See
Imposing an Ongoing CA Sanction)
When FAA receives a Sanction: Noncompliance/Compliance Request email from DCSS, complete all of the following:
●Key CS in the first available ALERT TYPE field next to the participant’s name PRAP
●Key the DCSS Sanction Reason Code in the RSN CODE field on
DISA for the correct sanction month, allowing for
NOAA.
●Key the DCSS Sanction Reason Sub Code in the corresponding SUB RSN field on DISA.
NOTE Review the DISQUAL/SANCTION REASON CODES table in AZTECS to determine the appropriate Sanction Reason Sub Code.
●Send the NOAA for the correct sanction level. The sanction level on the NOAA must match the sanction level that was imposed on PRAP/DISA.
When the participant is in DCSS noncompliance with more than one absent parent, document the
case file(g) and the DISA (PAGE 2) screen.
NOTE Do not key the NC DCSS Cooperation Code in the AF COOPERATION CODE field on APPD when a CA participant does not cooperate with DCSS. (For more information, see
Cooperation with Child Support Services - Overview.)
When a Jobs noncompliance ACTS alert is received, complete all of the following:
●Review NOHS to verify that an NOAA was sent by Jobs to the PI.
NOTE For notices mailed on or after 11/15/2022, view notice content in OnBase.
●Review sanction history on PRAP and DISA.
●Key JB in the first available ALERT TYPE field next to the participant’s name on PRAP.
●Key the Sanction Reason Code in the RSN CODE field on DISA.
NOTE Do not impose the sanction and contact the Jobs case worker for a resolution, when any of the following occur:
●NOAA was not mailed
●NOAA states the incorrect sanction level
●NOAA states the incorrect sanction month
When FAA is notified that a CA participant voluntarily quits working without good cause, complete all of the following:
●Key VQ in the first available ALERT TYPE field next to the participant’s name on PRAP.
●Key the Voluntary Quit Sanction Reason Code VQ in the corresponding RSN CODE field on DISA.
●Key the begin date for the sanction to be imposed in the BEGIN field on DISA.
●Key the end date for the sanction to end in the END field on DISA.
●Send the NOAA for the correct sanction level. The sanction level on the NOAA must match the sanction level that was imposed on PRAP/DISA.
When FAA verifies that a CA participant has been convicted of using, selling, or possessing a controlled substance, complete all of the following:
●Key FD in the third ALERT TYPE field next to the participant’s name on PRAP.
●Key the Drug Conviction Sanction Reason Code DR in the corresponding RSN CODE field on DISA.
●Key the begin date for the sanction to be imposed in the BEGIN field on DISA.
●Send the NOAA for the correct sanction level. The sanction level on the NOAA must match the sanction level that was imposed on PRAP/DISA.
When DISA is correctly keyed, AZTECS calculates and displays the correct graduated sanction number in the NBR field. Complete all of the following:
●Process the case through AFPD to authorize reduced benefits.
●Proceed to FSAD to authorize NA, as appropriate.
NOTE See CA sanction income under
Assistance Income Types for the sanction effect on NA.
Consider all of the following when imposing CA sanctions:
●Impose the sanction for the correct month as stated in the NOAA sent by Jobs or FAA.
●Consider multiple sanctions that affect the same benefit month as one sanction month. (See
CA Cumulative Sanctions)
When a sanction has been imposed and the participant has not complied by the AZTECS monthly rollover date, AZTECS deauthorizes the CA case and generates the CA DEAUTH - GRAD SANC ACTS alert. (See
Imposing an Ongoing CA Sanction)
