Disability SR 19-04, 06/19 (MAM-A)

_____________________________________________________________

Recipients who are disabled but have not requested an exemption from the community engagement requirement may request a good cause for not meeting the community engagement requirement whenever the recipient’s disability prevents the recipient from meeting the community engagement requirement. Recipients that request a good cause due to disability must submit verification from a licensed medical provider that the recipient could not participate due to the disability. The verification should include the days the disability prevented the recipient from participating. If the verification does include specific days, the credit the recipient 8 hours of community engagement activities for each day they were prevented from participating. If the verification does not contain specific days the recipient was prevented from meeting the community engagement requirement, assume the recipient was unable to participate for the entire month and credit the recipient 100 hours of community engagement activities for the month.
