Current Narrative:
ABAWDs are sanctioned for failure to comply with E&T requirements. The sanctioning process work like this. The service provider contacts the county worker via email or fax with the pertinent information to substantiate non–compliance. The client is notified at the same time as the county worker and within 10 days of the non–compliance occurring a closing notice is issued. County workers will review cases to establish if good cause exits prior to sanctioning. The first time sanctioning occurs the client is closed for one month. The second sanction period is two months and the third is three months. Once a sanction is imposed it cannot be cured. The sanction period must be served out unless the client provides an exemption reason.
