SNAP CERTIFICATION MANUAL – SECTION 1000

1622.10 Fleeing Felons SNAP Manual 10/01/08 A fleeing felon is an individual who is avoiding prosecution or custody for a crime, or an attempt to commit a crime that is classified as a felony. This provision also applies to individuals who are violating a condition of probation or parole under a Federal or State law. Fleeing felon status is usually determined by the existence of a warrant, and the individual is assumed to be fleeing as of the date the warrant is issued. If law enforcement is not actively seeking to apprehend the individual in Arkansas, an individual assumed to be fleeing due to the existence of a warrant is eligible to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. Identification as a fleeing felon based on SOLQ or from a source other than the law enforcement agency the individual is fleeing from is not considered verified upon receipt. The county office must contact the appropriate law enforcement agency for verification of fleeing felon status. If contact cannot be made with law enforcement officials, the individual will retain eligibility to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. The county office worker must document each attempt to contact law enforcement officials. Fleeing felons and probation/parole violators are ineligible to participate in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program during any period while the individual is fleeing to avoid prosecution or custody. The presence of a fleeing felon or probation/parole violator will not make the entire household ineligible. Anyone identified as a fleeing felon, or a probation/parole violator will be treated as an ineligible household member and his or her income and resources will continue to be shown in the SNAP budget. See SNAP 1623.2 for instructions. 1622.20 Disqualification for Certain Drug Manufacture or Distribution Felonies SNAP Manual 02/01/18 DELETED 02/01/18
