When the court finds the Work First unit member guilty of fraud, notification of disqualification is given. Use of a county repayment agreement is not appropriate, however, and is not used when the court directs payments be made to the Clerk of Court and/or the member has worked out a repayment arrangement with the court.
A. The notice must inform the Work first unit member of the decision and the reason for the decision, and the date the disqualification is effective.
B. The caseworker must notify the client of the correct check amount.
C. The Notice of Disqualification (DSS-8586, Figure 5) is provided as a State form. This notice is sent by the county.
D. In place of the repayment agreement, obtain a copy of the court order, providing repayment details such as the total amount to be repaid, the payment schedule, and the length of time allowed for repayment.
E. If the Work First unit member makes no payment or pays a smaller amount, the county department must notify the court but should take no collection action on its own without consulting its legal counsel.
F. If the court has ordered repayment in cash, the county department may not impose check reduction, unless the court order is amended to allow check reduction.
