Temporary Assistance/Case Management Manual

0240.025.05 Disqualification Due to Screening Process

IM-40 May 1, 2015; IM-19 February 20, 2013

Temporary Assistance (TA) applicants must cooperate with the drug screening process.  If a participant answers “Decline to Declare” on the TA Drug Screening Question (TADRUG/FMN0) screen, this is not considered cooperation with the drug screening process. If they do not cooperate, once the TA case is approved, FAMIS begins the adverse action period to disqualify the applicant. FAMIS automatically makes the following updates to the Sanction Disqualification (SANDISQ/FMAM) screen:

  • DISQUALIFICATION TYPE: MSQ (FAILURE TO COOP WITH THE MAND SCREEN QUES)
  • VIO DATE
  • HEARING/COURT
  • START: Date of the administrative hearing decision
  • NUMBER
  • LENGTH: 036 (months)
