As case management placements, there is no hourly payment reduction for noncooperation in CMD, CMU, CMF, CMF+, or CMJ. However, the FEP may close a CMD or CMJ placement if the individual is not cooperating with job search requirements, fails to come in for his or her EPEmployability Plan review appointment, or loses contact with the FEP. If a CMU, CMF, or CMF+ participant fails to come in or call in to his or her EP or eligibility review appointment or loses contact with the FEP, the FEP should close the CMF, CMF+, or CMU placement. Eligibility reviews must be conducted at least every six months to maintain nonfinancial eligibility.

In addition, job refusal could affect future W-2 eligibility. (See 180 day policy - Manual Section 2.2.1)
