Changes to Employment & Training Deferrals
Posted: January 17, 2012ACL 12-03 was issued, setting out the changes from SB 43, which adds additional, mandatory deferral criteria. By mandating additional bases for deferral, more CalFresh recipients will be able to avoid any problems with CFET sanctions (as sanctions are only for mandatory, and not volunteer, CFET folks). Unfortunately, all work registrants who are currently in sanction for noncompliance with E&T, who would otherwise deferred from E&T given the passage of SB 43, must continue in sanction until their minimum durational sanction ends or if they would qualify for an exemption to work registration. (The deferral is not an exemption that can end a sanction.)
