315.01 Definition of Voluntary Quit SR 00-08, 02/00 (FAM-A)

Voluntary quit provisions apply to each applicant for, or recipient of, NHEP financial assistance who voluntarily quits a job without good cause. Voluntary quit policy does not apply to individuals eligible for or receiving FAP financial assistance.

An individual is considered to have voluntarily quit employment when that individual:

• quits a job of at least 20 hours a week, within 60 days of applying for assistance;

• quits without good cause a job while on assistance;

• fails to report to work without good cause, while on assistance, resulting in the termination of the individual from employment; or

• refuses to accept a suitable job offer while receiving NHEP financial assistance.

Voluntary quit policy does not apply when one of the following occurs:

• an individual was fired or resigns at the request of an employer because that person cannot meet the employer’s work productivity standard; or

• an individual under the age of 60 resigns and the employer recognizes the resignation as retirement.
