247.01 Disqualified Individuals SR 13-35 Dated 10/13

_____________________________________________________________

Certain individuals are disqualified for not complying with a program requirement.

Disqualify SSP applicants and recipients for being a fugitive felon or violator of probation or parole. Felons and violators of probation or parole continue to be eligible for SSP medical assistance, however, provided all other SSP program requirements are met.

Include the income and resources of the disqualified individual per current policy, with all applicable disregards, deductions, etc., allowed, but the “needs” of the disqualified individual are not allowed when determining the SSP cash eligibility or benefit amount. Meaning, if the SSP cash AG size would be 2 if neither of the individuals in the AG was a disqualified individual, the SSP cash AG size will now be 1 if one of the individuals is a disqualified individual. The disqualified individual’s income and resources still count towards the AG, but the income and resource limits for an AG of one will be used to determine SSP cash eligibility and benefit amount.
