Rule 18-14-14.14 - Provider DeterminationA. The agency must ensure E&T providers are informed of their authority and responsibility to determine if an individual is not a good fit for a particular E&T component. Such determinations shall be referred to as provider determinations. An E&T provider is the provider of an E&T component.B. The E&T provider may also provide input on the most appropriate next step for the individual with a provider determination. If an E&T provider finds an individual is not a good fit for one component but determines the individual may be suitable for another component offered by the E&T provider, the E&T provider may switch the individual to the other component and inform the agency by updating the appropriate form of the new component without the need for the agency to act further on the provider determination. The E&T provider has the authority to determine if an individual is not a good fit for the E&T component from the time an individual is referred to an E&T component until completion of the component. In the case of either a mandatory or voluntary E&T participant with a provider determination, the agency shall notify the individual that they are not being sanctioned as a result of the provider determination.1. From the time an E&T provider determines an individual is not a good fit for an E&T component the individual shall not be found to have refused without good cause to participate in mandatory E&T. In the case of an ABAWD who has received a provider determination, the ABAWD will accrue countable months toward their three-month participation time limit the next full benefit month after the month during which the agency notifies the ABAWD of the provider determination, unless the ABAWD fulfills the work requirements, or the ABAWD has good cause, or is otherwise exempt.18 Miss.
