Page | 332 indicates on their EA301 application that they (or another household member) are a fleeing felon or probation/parole violator, then an ORFI referral does not need to be made.

An application will not be held waiting on verification of the individual’s fleeing felon or probation/parole violator status. The individual’s application must be processed within the 30 day (or 7 days for expedited) processing timeframes.

If an individual is determined to be a fleeing felon or a probation or parole violator during their certification period, that individual must be disqualified from the program even though it may result in a decrease in benefits to the household. The AMND code should be used to remove the person from the case or close the case.

In determining the time period for establishing claims for an individual identified as a fleeing felon or as probation/parole violator, an individual is not considered a fleeing felon or probation/parole violator until verification of the status has been made. Therefore, the date the individual is determined as a fleeing felon or probation/parole violator, will be the date from which any claims calculation would be made.

20700 REFUSAL TO COOPERATE WITH DIVISION OF CHILD SUPPORT (DCS) REQUIREMENTS

If the head of household refuses to cooperate with DCS, only he/she is not eligible for SNAP. His/her resources are still countable in their entirety for the household’s SNAP benefit. A prorated share of his/her income is countable for the household’s SNAP benefit. His/her share of shelter costs (except utility allowance) are prorated.

The head of household is ineligible to receive SNAP until he/she cooperates, good cause is established, or the biological/adoptive child leaves the household.
