Synopsis Grievant alleges receiving a reprimand and being denied benefits by Respondent. Grievant seeks removal of any disciplinary action and restoration of all benefits. Respondent did not administer a reprimand or any other discipline to Grievant. The benefits Grievant seeks to be restores are SNAP benefits received through a nutrition program which is totally separate from Grievants’s employment. The Grievance Board has no jurisdiction to grant relief related to the SNAP program and there is not relief available for a disciplinary action since none was taken. Because there is no relief available through the grievance procedure the grievance must be DISMISSED.
