Inclement Weather SR 19-04, 06/19 (MAM-A)

_____________________________________________________________

Recipients who experience inclement weather including natural disaster can request a good cause for not meeting the community engagement requirement. The good cause applies even if the inclement weather did not prevent transportation to a worksite. For example, if a golf course tells an employee not to come in because of rain the employee would be able to claim an inclement weather good cause even if the recipient could have traveled to the golf course. The recipient must verify the good cause through self-attestation. The verification must include the dates the recipient was prevented from participating. Credit the recipient 8 hours of community engagement activity for each day the recipient was unable to participate.
