Welfare Notes - September 2005

Some participants have expressed concerns that if they work certain jobs, it will negatively affect their eligibility. If you are in Group One eligibility, you will not be moved into Group Two or Group Three as long as you work the required Group One days within your eligibility period.

As an example: a participant with Group One eligibility who has a current eligibility period of May 1, 2005 through April 30, 2006 must work 60 Group One days within that time to keep their Group One coverage on a rolling 12-month basis. If you work a Group Two or Group Three job during that time frame, you will not be transferred to Group Two or Group Three as long as you work the required Group One days during that period.

A participant with Group Two eligibility who has a current eligibility period of May 1, 2005 through October 31, 2005 must work 60 Group One or Group Two days within that period to keep their Group Two eligibility on a rolling six-month basis. If you work Group Three days during that time frame, you will not be transferred to Group Three as long as you work the required Group Two days during that period. Group One time will also be counted towards the required days for participants with Group Two eligibility.
