2-020.09A1 Net Loss of Income

If employment would result in a net loss of cash income, the participant would have good cause for not accepting that job.  S/he may still choose to accept the employment, but is not subject to sanction if s/he does not.

The participant experiences a net loss of income if the income from employment does not equal the ADC cash benefit plus work related expenses minus any unearned income received by the family.  Work related expenses are defined as:

1. Mandatory payroll deductions;
2. Transportation, limited to gas and oil and routine maintenance or city bus fare (not paid for by other sources);
3. The portion of child care paid by the participant; and
4. Uniforms not paid for by other sources.

These must be expenses that would not otherwise be incurred.
