3-005.01 Those Who Refuse Potential Income

The needs of an individual other than the parent/caretaker relative are not included in the grant if s/he refuses to apply for -

1. Categorical assistance for which s/he is apparently entitled; or
2. Benefit payments from a program not administered by the Department to which s/he is apparently entitled.

If the parent/caretaker relative refuses to apply for potential income, see 468 NAC 2-020.09B2e.

It is the worker's responsibility to explain the application procedure and benefits to the apparently eligible family member and explain the consequences of not applying.
