At that time, the participant's rights and responsibilities under the JOBS Program will be clearly explained and the consequences of continued failure to participate will be outlined.

(2) The participant will be contacted as stated in program policy and given an opportunity to establish good cause as stated in program policy.

Successful resolution occurs in the following manner:

(a) The participant resumes/commences the activities originally agreed upon or revised by the case manager and participant;

(b) The participant presents information that establishes good cause for the noncompliance;

(c) The participant meets a criterion for deferral from participation or participation will be delayed; or

(d) Revisions are made in the required activities provided this results in a mutually agreed upon Individual JOBS Participation Plan (IJP).
