(N.D.A.C. 75-02-01.2-76)
Individuals in TANF households are required to complete the development of the social contract and sign a social contract by the last day of the fourth benefit month. Failure of the primary individual to sign or cooperate in the development of the social contract, without good cause, by the last day of the fourth benefit month of TANF eligibility will result in case closure.
Good cause reasons for not completing the development or for not signing the social contract are:
A medical condition that precludes the individual from leaving home as verified by a licensed physician's statement; or
The individual is hospitalized or institutionalized.
An individual who is granted good cause for not signing or cooperating in the development of the social contract may continue to receive TANF benefits after the initial four months if all other factors of eligibility are met. The individual must complete the social contract as soon as the good cause reason is no longer applicable.
