713.03 Disqualification Periods (FAM)

___________________________________________________________

When an individual is guilty of an intentional program violation (IPV), they are disqualified from the FANF program according to the criteria below, unless the court orders a different disqualification:

• first violation: 6 months of ineligibility.

• second violation: 12 months of ineligibility.

• third violation: permanent ineligibility.

The disqualification period begins on the date of conviction, administrative disqualification hearing (ADH) decision, or signing of the ADH waiver or consent agreement.  The disqualification period continues uninterrupted regardless of any changes in the household’s eligibility.

Not all FANF household members will be disqualified—only the individual who committed the intentional program violation. The remaining household members must repay the overpayment/over issuance or their monthly grant allotment will be reduced.
