Section 10:90-11.2 - Methods of determining IPV

(a) The county or municipal agency shall proceed against any individual member of an WFNJ assistance unit, regardless of WFNJ payment status, who it believes has committed IPV. The county or municipal agency may secure a finding of IPV either through an administrative disqualification hearing conducted by the Office of Administrative Law (OAL), or a court of appropriate jurisdiction. In proceeding against any such individual, the county or municipal agency shall coordinate the IPV investigation and any resultant hearing with any action being taken under the NJ SNAP program, when the factual issue(s) arises from the same or related circumstances. A finding of IPV may also be made if the accused signs either the waiver of right to an administrative disqualification hearing (10:90-11.4) , or a disqualification consent agreement (10:90-11.9) .

(b) A referral for an administrative disqualification hearing or referral to a court of appropriate jurisdiction shall be initiated by the county or municipal agency whenever the county or municipal agency has sufficient documentary evidence to substantiate that an individual has intentionally committed one or more acts of IPV, as defined at 10:90-11.1, regardless of the current eligibility of the individual.
