If a consumer is determined to be in non-cooperation with Work Programs, the user must create the Non-Compliance record on the Non-Compliance List page before running EDBC. The Non-Compliance record should only be added for the person(s) in non-cooperation with work programs. Please see Non-Financial Data Collection Non-Compliance for more information on completing this page.
Use the Work Programs non-compliance Type with applicable tiered Reason, when determining a TANF recipient's non-cooperation with work programs.
Enter the Begin Date as the first day of the first month the penalty is applied, taking Timely and Adequate Notice into consideration. An End Date populates based on the selected tiered Reason.
For FA Consumers: If the TANF recipient is also Active on a Food Assistance program, it is not necessary to add any additional Non-Compliance types. The consumer's role and status is updated when EDBC is ran.
When the penalty is considered cured, the Career Navigator enters the Compliance Date on the applicable Work Programs Non-Compliance record, regardless of the program status. See Editing or End Dating a Non-Compliance Record for guidance on entering cooperation information.
