3-004.02A Those Who Refuse Potential Income

The needs of an individual 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.

It is the worker's responsibility to explain the application procedure and benefits to the apparently eligible individual and explain the consequences of not applying (see 470 NAC 2-008.06).
