340:105-12-38. National or state emergencies or mandates

Issued 9-15-2021

(a) Sub-grantees are responsible for ensuring host agencies have disaster and emergency action plans in place.

(b) When, due to a national or state emergency or mandate and a change to the individual durational limit is directed, participants are eligible for continued program participation for the length of time specified by the mandate.  When there is not an active host agency assignment available for the participant, he or she is entered into an unpaid approved break in participation until he or she is able to be placed in a paid training activity.  The approved break in participation is not counted against the new durational limit.  At the time a participant resumes active training, his or her additional participation count begins.  Remaining eligibility is only calculated for time spent in the paid training or community service assignment.  Participants are notified of the option for continued eligibility.  If the participant opts for continued Senior Community Service Employment Program services, he or she is provided their 12-month transitional notice with their new eligibility expiration date.

(c) When the Department of Labor provides flexibilities regarding policy requirements, information will be conveyed to participants and sub-grantees as needed.
