	(1)	Reimbursement for dependent care shall be authorized only to the extent that another source is not available to provide the care at no cost to the employment and training program and shall be based on the child care assistance program reimbursement rates as described at 441—paragraph 170.4(7)“a.”
	(2)	The caretaker relative of a dependent in a family receiving FIP is not eligible for the dependent care reimbursement.
	65.28(12) Failure to comply. This subrule applies only to persons who are mandatory work registrants as required by subrule 65.28(1).
	a. 	When a person has refused or failed without good cause to comply with the work registration requirements in this rule, that person shall be ineligible to participate in the food assistance program as follows:

	b. 	The disqualification period shall begin with the first month following the expiration of the adverse notice period, unless a fair hearing is requested.
	65.28(13) Noncompliance with comparable requirements. The department shall treat a mandatory work registrant’s failure to comply with an unemployment compensation requirement that is comparable to a food assistance work registration requirement as a failure to comply with the corresponding food assistance requirement. Disqualification procedures in subrule 65.28(12) shall be followed.
	65.28(14) Ending disqualification. Following the end of the disqualification periods for noncompliance and as provided in rules 441—65.27(234) and 441—65.28(234), participation may resume.

	(1)	If the applicant voluntarily quit a job, the applicant must obtain a job comparable to the one that the applicant quit.
	(2)	If the applicant voluntarily reduced hours of employment to less than 30 hours per week, the applicant must start working 30 or more hours per week.
	b. 	A disqualified individual who is a member of a currently participating eligible household shall be added to the household after the minimum disqualification period has been served and the person has complied with the failed requirement as follows:
	(1)	If the member failed or refused to register for work with the department, the member complies by registering.
	(2)	If the member voluntarily quit a job, the member must obtain a job comparable to the one quit.
	(3)	If the member voluntarily reduced hours of employment to less than 30 hours per week, the member must start working 30 or more hours per week.
	c. 	An individual may reestablish eligibility during a disqualification period by becoming exempt from the work requirement as provided in subrule 65.28(2).
	65.28(15) Suitable employment. Employment shall be considered unsuitable if:
	a. 	The wage offered is less than the highest of the applicable federal minimum wage, the applicable state minimum wage, or 80 percent of the federal minimum wage if neither the federal nor state minimum wage is applicable.
	b. 	The employment offered is on a piece-rate basis and the average hourly yield the employee can reasonably be expected to earn is less than the applicable hourly wages specified in paragraph “a” above.
	c. 	The household member, as a condition of employment or continuing employment, is required to join, resign from, or refrain from joining a legitimate labor organization.
	d. 	The work offered is at a site subject to a strike or lockout at the time of the offer unless the strike has been enjoined under Section 208 of the Labor-Management Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 78A) (commonly known as the Taft-Hartley Act), or unless an injunction has been issued under Section 10 of the Railway Labor Act (45 U.S.C. 160).

	(1)	The degree of risk to health and safety is unreasonable.
	(2)	The member is physically or mentally unfit to perform the employment, as documented by medical evidence or by reliable information from other sources.
	(3)	The employment offered within the first 30 days of registration is not in the member’s major field of experience.
	(4)	The distance from the member’s home to the place of employment is unreasonable considering the expected wage and the time and cost of commuting. Employment shall not be considered suitable if daily commuting time exceeds two hours per day, not including the transporting of a child to and from a child care facility. Employment shall also not be considered suitable if the distance to the place of employment prohibits walking and neither public nor private transportation is available to transport the member to the job site.
	(5)	The working hours or nature of the employment interferes with the member’s religious observances, convictions, or beliefs.
	65.28(16) Applicants for supplemental security income (SSI) and food assistance. Household members who are jointly applying for SSI and for food assistance shall have the requirements for work registration waived until:
	a. 	They are determined eligible for SSI and thereby become exempt from work registration, or
	b. 	They are determined ineligible for SSI whereupon a determination of work registration status will be made.
	65.28(17) Determining good cause. The department or its designee shall determine whether good cause exists for failure to comply with the work registration, employment and training, and voluntary quit requirements in 441—Chapter 65. In determining whether good cause exists, the facts and circumstances shall be considered, including information submitted by the household member involved and the employer.
Good cause shall include circumstances beyond the member’s control, such as, but not limited to, illness of the registrant or of another household member requiring the presence of the registrant, a household emergency, the unavailability of transportation, or the lack of adequate child care for children who have reached age 6 but are under age 12.
	65.28(18) Measuring the three-year period for able-bodied nonexempt adults without dependents. The three-year period as provided for in federal regulations at 7 CFR 273.24 as amended to June 19, 2002, starts on December 1, 2002, and ends November 30, 2005. Subsequent three-year periods start with the month of December following the end of the previous period.
	65.28(19) Mini-simplified food assistance program.
	a. 	Scope. The department operates a mini-simplified food assistance program for households that:
	(1)	Also receive benefits under the family investment program; and
	(2)	Include a parent who is exempt from food assistance requirements for work registration due to caring for a child under the age of six.
	b. 	Effect. The mini-simplified food assistance program allows replacement of certain food assistance program work rules with work rules of the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families program. The value of the household’s monthly food assistance benefits shall be combined with the household’s monthly family investment program benefit amount to determine the maximum number of hours the department can require a household member under the family investment program to participate in an unpaid work activity that is subject to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. Maximum required hours of participation for a month are determined by dividing the total amount of benefits by the state or federal minimum wage, whichever wage is higher.

441—65.29(234) Income.
	65.29(1) Self-employment income. “Self-employment income” means the net profit from self-employment.
	a. 	Determination of net profit. “Net profit from self-employment” means gross self-employment income less:
	(1)	A standard amount of 40 percent, as allowed by the state’s family investment (TANF) program, or
	(2)	At the household’s request, actual allowable expenses as specified in federal regulations at 7 CFR 273.11 as amended to January 1, 2011.
	b. 	Uneven proration of self-employment income. Once a household with self-employment income is determined eligible, the household has the following options for computation of the benefit level:
	(1)	Using the same monthly self-employment income amount which was used to determine eligibility, or
	(2)	Unevenly prorating the household’s annual self-employment income over the period for which the household’s self-employment income was averaged to more closely approximate the time when the income is actually received. If this option is chosen, the self-employment income assigned in any month together with other income and deductions at the time of certification cannot result in the household’s exceeding the maximum monthly net income eligibility standards for the household’s size.
	65.29(2) Job insurance benefits. When the department of human services uses information provided by the department of workforce development to verify job insurance benefits, the benefits shall be considered received the second day after the date that the check was mailed. When the second day falls on a Sunday or federal legal holiday, the time shall be extended to the next mail delivery day.
When the client notifies the agency that the amount of job insurance benefits used is incorrect, the client shall be allowed to verify the discrepancy. A benefit adjustment shall be made when indicated. The client must report the discrepancy before the benefit month or within ten days of the date on the Notice of Decision, Form 470-0485, 470-0486, or 470-0486(S), applicable to the benefit month, whichever is later, in order to receive corrected benefits.
	65.29(3) Exclusion of income from 2000 census employment. Rescinded IAB 9/4/02, effective 10/1/02.
	65.29(4) Interest income. Prorate interest income by dividing the amount anticipated during the certification period by the number of months in the certification period.

In determining eligibility, the department shall exclude educational income, including any educational loans on which payment is deferred, grants, scholarships, fellowships, veterans’ educational benefits, and the like excluded under Title XIX of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396 et seq.).
	a. 	Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these rules or regulations, the department shall exclude educational income based on amounts earmarked by the institution, school, program, or other grantor as made available for the specific costs of tuition, mandatory fees, books, supplies, transportation and miscellaneous personal expenses (other than living expenses).
	b. 	If the institution, school, program, or other grantor does not earmark amounts made available for the allowable costs involved, students shall receive an exclusion from educational income for educational assistance verified by the student as used for the allowable costs involved. Students can also verify the allowable costs involved when amounts earmarked are less than amounts that would be excluded by a strict earmarking policy.
	c. 	For the purpose of this rule, mandatory fees include the rental or purchase of equipment, materials and supplies related to the course of study involved.
	65.29(7) Elementary and high school student income. Rescinded IAB 5/2/01, effective 6/1/01.
	65.29(8) Vendor payments. Rescinded IAB 5/2/01, effective 6/1/01.
	65.29(9) HUD or FmHA utility reimbursement. Rescinded IAB 5/2/01, effective 6/1/01.
	65.29(10) Welfare reform and regular household honorarium income. All moneys paid to a food assistance household in connection with the welfare reform demonstration longitudinal study or focus groups shall be exempted.
	65.29(11) Income of ineligible aliens. The department shall use all but a pro-rata share of ineligible aliens’ income and deductible expenses to determine eligibility and benefits of any remaining household members.
	65.29(12) Unearned income. Unearned income is any income in cash that is not gained by labor or service. When taxes are withheld from unearned income, the amount considered will be the net income after the withholding of taxes (Federal Insurance Contribution Act, state and federal income taxes). Net unearned income shall be determined by deducting reasonable income-producing costs from the gross unearned income. Money left after this deduction shall be considered gross income available to the household.

The statement must contain information on how often meals are served by the establishment or shelter, the approximate number of meals served per month, and a statement that the establishment or shelter does serve meals to homeless persons. This information must be dated and signed by a person in charge of the administration of the establishment or shelter and give the person’s title or function with the establishment.
