If an individual was 'convicted' and through a court action the reference to the conviction was removed, the individual is no longer considered 'convicted' for SNAP purposes. The individual can reapply and be certified for SNAP benefits if otherwise eligible. A record is considered clear when there is no longer any mention of the conviction on the criminal record. Any action taken against a minor in youth court cannot be considered a felony. A minor is only disqualified if treated as an adult and found guilty. Effective Date: June 1, 2025
