319 FUGITIVE FELONS AND VIOLATORS OF PROBATION OR PAROLE SR 97-08 Dated 03/97

Financial assistance and food stamps must not be provided to known fugitive felons, and violators of probation or parole. A fugitive felon is an individual who runs away to avoid prosecution, or custody or confinement after for a crime, or attempt to commit a crime, that is a felony under the law of the place from which the individual is fleeing. A violator of probation or parole is an individual who is violating a condition or probation or parole imposed under a Federal or State law. Note: In New Jersey a "high misdemeanor" is the classification equivalent to a "felony".

Exception: Felons and violators of probation or parole continue to be eligible for TANF-related medical assistance, provided other requirements are met.
