Universal Citation: HI Admin Rules 17-604.1-12

Current through August, 2024

(a) The department shall submit the required information on each individual disqualified for intentional program violation through a reporting system in accordance with procedures specified by FNS so that it is received by FNS no later than thirty days after the disqualification took effect.

(b) All the data submitted by state agencies shall be available for use by any state welfare agency.

(1) The department, at a minimum, shall use the data for the following purposes:
(A) To determine the eligibility of individual program applicants prior to certification in cases where the branch has reason to believe a household member is subject to disqualification in another political jurisdiction; and

(B) To ascertain the appropriate penalty to impose, based upon past disqualifications, in a case under consideration.

(2) The department may also use the data in other ways, such as the following:
(A) To screen all program applicants prior to certification; and

(B) To periodically match the entire list of disqualified individuals against their current caseloads.

(c) The disqualification of an individual for an intentional program violation in one jurisdiction shall be valid in another. However, one or more intentional program violations which occurred prior to April 1, 1983, shall be considered as only one previous disqualification when determining the appropriate penalty to impose in a case under consideration, regardless of where the disqualification or disqualifications took place.
