Section 10:15-3.5 - Refusal of WFNJ/TANF child care benefits

(a) A WFNJ/TANF participant may refuse available appropriate WFNJ child care benefits if the participant can ensure that such refusal will not prevent or interfere with participation in a WFNJ work activity.

1. When child care referrals have been made available to them, refusal of WFNJ/TANF child care benefits may be inferred if the participant does not select a child care provider by the start of a work activity.

2. Refusal of WFNJ/TANF child care benefits shall be documented in the CCRR case record and reported to the CWA immediately.

3. In instances where refusal of child care is disputed, it is the responsibility of the CCRR to show that a minimum of three referrals for appropriate care were made, and it is the responsibility of the participant to document that he or she met with the referred providers in a manner compatible with the activity.
