The income and resources of the ineligible member will be handled in accordance with 14.1(1) Treatment of Income and Resources of Certain Non-Household Members.

(1) Fleeing felon

An individual is a fleeing felon if:

a) a law enforcement officer (Federal, State or local) acting in his or her official capacity presents an outstanding felony arrest warrant to obtain the location of and other information about the individual named in the warrant. The felony arrest warrant must contain one of the following National Crime Information Center Uniform Offense Codes: • Escape (4901); • Flight to Avoid (prosecution, confinement, etc.) (4902); or • Flight-Escape (4999).

b) on an application or recertification or during an interview, a written or verbal response to the question “Are you or anyone in your household a fleeing felon or probation/parole violator” is “yes”, the Agency will document a verbal response in SCOSA Folder Notes and will contact the state National Crime Information Center (NCIC) at (803) 734-9301 to obtain the jurisdiction in which the individual in question is a fleeing felon in order to secure a felony arrest warrant for both verbal and written responses. (2) Probation and parole violator

In order for an individual to be considered a probation or parole violator, an impartial party, as designated by the agency, must determine that the individual violated a condition of his or her probation or parole.

If a written or verbal response to the question “Are you or anyone in your household a fleeing felon or probation/parole violator” is “yes”, the Agency will document a verbal response in SCOSA Folder Notes and will contact the state National Crime Information Center (NCIC) at (803) 734-
