DRUG FELONS
0011.27.03
If the convicted person meets 1 of the above conditions, the unit may receive benefits. He/she is subject to random drug testing as a condition of continued eligibility. DHS suggests that county agencies coordinate efforts with local probation or court services to establish procedures and share costs of random drug testing for these clients.
If the client fails a drug test while receiving assistance, or the county is informed by a probation officer or other official entity that the client has failed a drug test or has been convicted of another drug felony, the client is ineligible for assistance for 5 years beginning:
● The 1st of the month following the month of the positive test result for an illegal controlled substance.
● The 1st of the month following the month of discharge of sentence after conviction for another drug felony.
The remaining unit members may continue to receive benefits.
GRH: No provisions.
