Universal Citation: NJ Admin Code 10:87-3.17
Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 18, September 16, 2024

Individuals are ineligible for the NJ SNAP program benefits while they are fleeing to avoid prosecution, custody, or confinement for a felony or attempted felony, or for violating a condition of probation or parole. If the CWA determines that an individual has a warrant out for his or her arrest, the agency shall also verify that the individual has knowledge of the warrant. Once an individual has knowledge of the warrant, either by having received the warrant personally, or by being advised of its existence by the agency, he or she is technically at that time "fleeing" and ineligible for NJ SNAP benefits. Where the agency learns that an individual has a warrant out for his or her arrest during the application processing period, the worker is required to verify with the applicant whether he or she has knowledge of the warrant. Furthermore, the individual shall be given the opportunity to submit documentation that a warrant has been satisfied, if that is what he or she states.
