BRIDGES ELIGIBILITY MANUAL STATE OF MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH & HUMAN SERVICES

OIG Process Referrals received from MDHHS central office will be loaded, processed, and tracked in MIGS. OIG will screen the referral and assign the status determination. The agent will review the warrant to verify if the warrant is a felony and whether it conforms to the above NCIC codes or comparable MCL. After confirming, the agent will verify that the individual on the warrant matches the individual in Bridges. When both the felony warrant and individual are confirmed, OIG must contact the law enforcement agency to inquire whether law enforcement intends to enforce the warrant within 20 days of OIG’s contact. If law enforcement intends to enforce the warrant, OIG will recontact after 20 days to determine whether or not the law enforcement agency has attempted to arrest the individual. An individual is able to be disqualified as a fleeing felon if OIG is able to: • Verify the individual is the person with the warrant. • Verify that the law enforcement agency intends to enforce the warrant in the next 20 days from OIG’s initial contact. • Verify that law enforcement unsuccessfully attempted to enforce the warrant within 20 days from OIG’s initial contact. • Verify that the warrant is still outstanding after the 20 days from OIG’s contact. • Verify the warrant conforms to offense descriptors and/or their corresponding Uniform Offense Classification Codes, as published by the NCIC. If OIG is unable to verify any of the items listed above, the individual cannot be disqualified as a fleeing felon. After the above review, the OIG agent is to contact policy (MDHHS- Policy-Criminal-Justice@michigan.gov) indicating whether or not the individual is to be disqualified due to fleeing felon status.
