Subchapter 1 - GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 10:90-1.15 - Voluntary quit
An adult applicant for WFNJ shall not be eligible for benefits when the applicant's eligibility is the result of a voluntary cessation of employment, without good cause, including situations in which an applicant has been discharged from employment due to an action or inaction on his or her part in violation of the employer's written rules or policies, or lawful job related instructions within 90 days prior to the date of application. The applicant shall be ineligible for assistance for a period of 90 days beginning with the date of quit. Other members of the adult applicant's assistance unit shall remain eligible to apply for benefits. The individual who voluntarily ceased employment shall be responsible for providing the necessary information so that a good cause determination can be made (see 10:90-4.14(b) for voluntary quit provisions for WFNJ recipients and 10:90-4.14(c) regarding good cause provisions).
