SNAP:
A person is not eligible for SNAP benefits if the person is convicted as an adult and is not in compliance with the terms of the sentence for the offenses listed below. Non-compliance with the offense terms of the conviction needs to be verified before the person is not eligible for SNAP.

1.	A Federal offense involving aggravated sexual abuse.
2.	A Federal offense involving murder.
3.	A Federal offense involving sexual exploitation and other abuse of children.
4.	A Federal or State offense involving sexual assault.
OR
5.	An offense under State law determined by the Attorney General to be substantially similar to an offense 1, 2 and 3 described above.

This disqualification does not apply to a conviction for an offense occurring on or before February 7, 2014.

Because the specific offenses in this section are identified in Federal regulations and DHS may need to confer with the Attorney’s General office for offenses under State law, staff should submit a request to PolicyQuest to confirm that the offense is included before imposing the disqualification.
