Period of ineligibility: Ineligible while identified in this category.
Individuals are required to self-attest at application and redetermination whether they or any other member of their household have been convicted of such crimes and are complying with the terms of their sentence. This self-attestation can be made in writing, verbally, or both. This information must be documented in the case record. The individual should not be required to come to the office solely to self-attest this information. If verification is not received timely, the Agency must process the application without consideration of the individual’s felony and compliance. 3.2.1.B.4 Ineligible Noncitizen Individuals who do not meet the citizenship or eligible noncitizen status are ineligible to participate in SNAP and may not be a separate AG. When an individual indicates inability or unwillingness to provide documentation of noncitizen status, that client is classified as an ineligible noncitizen. The income of the ineligible noncitizen is deemed and expenses are prorated according to Section 4.4. Eligibility is determined for the remaining eligible AG members. See Chapter 15. Once the Worker determines the individual is an ineligible noncitizen and would normally be included in the AG, no additional status, such as student, is determined. Ineligible Noncitizen Example: An ineligible noncitizen lives with her 15-year-old child who was born in the United States (U.S.) and is a citizen. The ineligible noncitizen is attending college and does not meet an exception to the student policy. Her countable income and assets are deemed according to the policy for ineligible noncitizens.
