If the parent(s) fails or refuses to participate in EF without good cause, the result is the loss of ADC cash assistance for the entire family as well as the medical assistance for the adult(s). In a two-parent family, failure or refusal to participate in EF without good cause by one parent will result in the loss of ADC cash assistance for the entire family and medical assistance for both adults.
If the needy caretaker relative, guardian, or conservator who is not a parent fails or refuses to participate in EF without good cause, the result is the loss of ADC cash assistance and medical assistance for the caretaker only.
If a dependent child age 16, 17, or 18 fails to attend school and fails or refuses to participate in any other EF component without good cause, the result is the removal of the child’s needs from the ADC cash assistance. The child may be eligible for medical assistance.
