Idaho Admin. Code r. 16.03.04.268
Request proof if the household's job quit or reduction of work hours is questionable. The household is responsible for providing proof. If the household cannot get timely proof, offer assistance. Proof includes, but is not limited to, contacts with the previous employer or union organizations. If the employer cannot be contacted or the employer will not provide the information try to get the proof from a third party. In some cases, the household and the Department cannot prove the circumstances of the quit. This may occur because the employer cannot be located or refused to cooperate. This may include quits due to employer discrimination or unreasonable employer demands. In cases where proof of the voluntary quit cannot be obtained, the household must not be denied Food Stamps on the basis of a voluntary quit or reduction of work hours. If a household member refuses, without good cause, to provide enough information to determine voluntary quit or work reduction, a penalty must be imposed. Impose the appropriate quit or reduction penalty. (3-17-22)
