KAMES Automatically
implements the action to
discontinue indicating
code 536. This trumps
other discontinuance
codes except 660. (60month)
Alternate programs to
MA, including the
sanctioned individual, if
appropriate.
What happens on KAMES?

Automatically refers
the case for Safety
Net services through
P & P.
 Posts a spot check
to review the Food
Benefit case. K-TAP
Disc cures the Food
Benefit
What to do about reapplications?

Once an individual receives a full family sanction he/she must
cure the full family sanction prior to reapproval of the K-TAP case,
regardless of the reason for the most recent discontinuance. A full
family sanction may be cured by a determination that the
individual has good cause, has become exempt from participation
in KWP activities, or has demonstrated compliance by
participating for 15 calendar days.
