Noncompliance - Successful Compliance Plan

If the client agrees to enter into a compliance plan and subsequently completes it, a sanction will not be imposed. [Refer to "Noncompliance Process Guidance/Participant Successfully Completes the Terms of the WTW 32" for additional information.]

A client is considered to have complied with program requirements by satisfactorily performing the activity he or she previously refused to perform (or another appropriate activity agreed upon by the county and client), as specified on the compliance plan until whichever happens first:

• Completion of activity, or
• Up to a maximum of 60 calendar days from the date the client begins the activity.

Example

A client fails to show up and enroll in a three-month computer training class without good cause. After receiving the NA 840, the client contacts the county on March 1, which is within the 20-day period, and agrees to sign a compliance plan. The previous computer class has closed and the county cannot locate another class, or other appropriate activity, that begins before April 15. For the purpose of compliance, the county will assign the client to a new computer class, or other appropriate activity, from April 15 through June 13 (60 calendar days from the date the activity begins). If the client participates in the assignment through June 13, as required, the county will not impose a sanction.

Example

A client is assigned to a six-month community service program scheduled for December through May. During the first month he missed seven (7) days and was found to have violated the program’s attendance requirements without good cause. After receiving the NA 840, the client contacts the county within the 20-day period, and agrees to sign a compliance plan. The client signs the compliance plan on February 1 and the county reassigns him to the community service program to participate for 60 calendar days, from February 15 through April 17. If the client successfully completed his assignment the county will not impose a sanction.

Subsequent Compliance Problems

After the client has completed the compliance period per the compliance plan, he or she may continue in the same activity as in the compliance period; however, after the compliance period is completed, any subsequent participation problem that occurs after compliance requirements are met, is subject to a new noncompliance process.
