4.803.2
Determination of an IPV
/Fraud
A. An intentional program
violation shall be established only if an administrative disqualification
hearing official or a court of appropriate jurisdiction has found a household
member has committed an intentional program violation or fraud or if a signed
waiver of administrative hearing or a signed disqualification consent agreement
has been obtained.
B. For purposes
of determining, through administrative disqualification hearings, whether a
person has committed an IPV, the determination shall be based upon whether the
person intentionally:
1. Made a false or
misleading statement, or misrepresented, concealed, or withheld facts;
or,
2. Committed any act that
constitutes a violation of the Food and Nutrition Act of 2008, as amended,
these SNAP rules, Federal SNAP regulations, or any state statute for the
purpose of using, presenting, transferring, acquiring, receiving, possessing,
or trafficking of SNAP benefits, authorization cards or reusable documents as
part of an automated benefit delivery system access device.
"Intentionally" means a false representation of a material
fact with knowledge of that falsity, or omission of a material fact with
knowledge of that omission.
C. The determination of IPV/fraud shall be
based upon clear and convincing evidence that demonstrates that the household
member(s) committed and intended to commit IPV. "Clear and convincing" means
evidence which is stronger than a "preponderance of evidence" and which is
unmistakable and free from serious or substantial doubt.
D. The same act of IPV/fraud repeated over a
period of time shall not be separated so that separate disqualification periods
can be imposed.
E. The burden of
proving IPV/fraud is with the local office.
F. Disqualification periods shall be imposed
based on the following:
1. Administrative
Disqualification Hearing (ADH)
If an IPV/fraud is determined through an ADH, the individual
must be notified in writing once it is determined that they are to be
disqualified. The disqualification period shall begin no later than the second
month which follows the date the individual receives written notice of the
disqualification. ***
2.
Waiver of an ADH
If an IPV/fraud is determined through the client signing a
waiver of an administrative disqualification hearing form, then the period of
disqualification shall begin with the first month which follows the date the
household member receives written notification of the
disqualification.
3. Court
Decisions
If an individual is determined through a court to be
disqualified for an IPV/fraud, but the date for initiating the disqualification
period is not specified, the local office shall initiate the disqualification
period for currently eligible individuals within forty-five (45) calendar days
of the date the disqualification was ordered. Any other court-imposed
disqualification shall begin within forty-five (45) calendar days of the date
the court found a currently eligible individual guilty of civil or criminal
misrepresentation or fraud.
4. Disqualification Consent Agreements
Unless contrary to the court order, the period of
disqualification shall begin within forty-five (45) calendar days from the date
the household member signed the disqualification consent agreement. However, if
the court imposes a disqualification period or specifies the date for
initiating the disqualification period, the state department shall disqualify
the household member in accordance with the court
order.
4.803.3
Time Period and Types of
Disqualifications [Rev. eff. 1/1/16]
A. IPV
Individuals who have waived a hearing for IPV or who have
been found to have committed an IPV through a local-level or state
administrative IPV decision shall be ineligible to participate in SNAP for
twelve (12) months for the first (1st) IPV; twenty-four (24) months for the
second (2nd) IPV; and permanently for the third (3rd)
IPV/fraud.
B. Receiving
Duplicate Benefits
Individuals who misrepresent their identity or residency to
receive duplicate benefits shall be ineligible to participate in SNAP for a
period of ten (10) years. Receiving duplicate benefits is considered an attempt
to receive or the receipt of more than one original allotment of benefits
during a calendar month. A permanent disqualification for a third (3rd) offense
would override the disqualification period for duplicate
benefits.
C. Trafficking
Benefits
1. The penalties for trafficking
SNAP benefits are outlined in Section
26-2-306(2),
C.R.S.
2. An individual convicted
through a court of law of trafficking in SNAP of five hundred dollars ($500) or
more will be disqualified permanently.
D. Drug Convictions
An individual shall not be ineligible due to a drug
conviction unless misuse of SNAP benefits is part of the court findings. An
individual found guilty of purchasing controlled substances, as defined in
Section 18-18-102(5),
C.R.S., with SNAP benefits will be disqualified for twenty-four (24) months on
the first (1st) conviction by a court of law and permanently disqualified on a
second (2nd) conviction by a court of law. The disqualification periods shall
also apply to individuals with a felony conviction entered on or after July 1,
1997, for possession, use, or distribution of controlled substances only if the
conviction is directly related to the misuse of SNAP benefits.
E. An individual found guilty in a
court of law of trading or purchasing firearms, ammunition, or explosives with
SNAP benefits will be permanently disqualified on the first (1st) conviction.
An individual will be disqualified even in the cases of deferred
adjudication.
4.803.4
Pursuing Disqualifications for IPV/Fraud [Rev. eff. 1/1/16]
A. The provisions of these rules concerned
with state-level fair hearings at Sections 4.802.6 and at 4.802.3 are also
applicable for state and local administrative disqualification
hearings.
B. Whenever the local
office has accumulated evidence to substantiate that a person has committed one
or more acts of intentional program violation as defined above, the
establishment of an intentional program violation shall be determined via:
1. An administrative disqualification
hearing; or,
2. A signed waiver of
administrative hearing; or,
3. For
cases referred to a court of appropriate jurisdiction, through a signed
disqualification consent agreement for plea bargained cases or cases of
deferred adjudication.
The local office may conduct a local-level administrative
disqualification hearing for intentional Program violation or may use the
Office of Administrative Courts of the Colorado Department of Personnel and
Administration to conduct a state-level administrative disqualification
hearing. The local office may also initiate court action by referring an
intentional program violation under state fraud statutes to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction.
C. If the local office determines that there
is evidence to substantiate that a person has committed an IPV/fraud, the local
office shall, prior to initiating an administrative disqualification hearing,
allow that person the opportunity to waive his or her right to an
administrative disqualification hearing or, for cases referred to a court of
appropriate jurisdiction, to sign a disqualification consent agreement for plea
bargained cases or cases of deferred adjudication. However, prior to providing
the request for waiver, there shall be a review of the evidence against the
household member by a staff member who was not involved in the investigation of
the household and who has a thorough enough understanding of SNAP policy to
ensure that policy is being correctly applied and that the evidence meets the
"clear and convincing" criteria (see Section 4.803.2, C) necessary to warrant
the pursuit of an IPV/fraud determination.
D. An administrative disqualification hearing
may be initiated regardless of the current eligibility of the individual
charged. An administrative hearing should be initiated under the following
circumstances:
1. Whenever the facts of the
individual case do not warrant civil or criminal prosecution through the
appropriate court system; or,
2. In
cases that were previously referred for prosecution and were declined by
appropriate legal authority; or,
3.
In previously referred cases where no action was taken within a reasonable
period of time and which were formally withdrawn by the local office.
E. Administrative hearings shall
not be requested against an accused individual whose case is currently being
referred for prosecution or subsequent to any action taken against the accused
individual by the prosecutor or court of appropriate jurisdiction, if the
factual issues of the case arise out of the same or related
circumstances.
F. To request a
state or local-level administrative hearing for intentional program violation,
the local office shall submit a request to the Colorado Department of Personnel
and Administration, Office of Administrative Courts. To request a local-level
administrative hearing, the local office shall submit a request to the
local-level hearing officer. When initiating an administrative disqualification
hearing for intentional program violation/fraud, the Notice of Hearing form
shall be sent to the household member at least thirty (30) calendar days in
advance of the scheduled local hearing. At the time of the hearing, the local
office will have the opportunity to present the full body of
evidence.
G. The Department of
General Support Services, Division of Administrative Hearings, may combine a
fair hearing and an administrative disqualification hearing into a single
hearing if the factual issues arise out of the same or related circumstances
and the household receives prior notice that the hearings will be combined. The
amount of the claim will be contained on the notice of confirmation. If the
intentional program violation hearings and fair hearings are combined, the
Office of Administrative Courts (OAC) will follow the timeliness standards for
conducting intentional program violation hearings. If the hearings are combined
for the purpose of settling the amount of the claim and determining whether or
not intentional program violation has occurred, the household shall lose its
right to a subsequent fair hearing on the amount of the claim. However, OAC
shall, upon request of the household, allow the household to waive the thirty
(30) day advance notice period required in Section 4.803.43 when the
intentional program violation hearing and fair hearing are combined.
4.803.41
Waiver of Administrative
Disqualification Hearing [Rev. eff. 1/1/16]
A. Households mailed a request for waiver of
the administrative disqualification hearing shall be provided a copy of the
statement of rights. The household shall be notified that it has fifteen (15)
days from the date the waiver of administrative disqualification hearing was
dated and mailed to respond by returning a completed waiver.
B. The completion of the waiver of the
administrative disqualification hearing for intentional program violation is
voluntary and the local office shall not require its completion nor by its
actions appear to require the completion of the waiver.
C. If the household member suspected of
intentional program violation signs the waiver of the administrative
disqualification hearing and returns the waiver to the local office within
fifteen (15) days from the date it is dated and mailed by the local office,
that person and the head of household shall be provided with a notice of
disqualification for waived hearing of intentional program violation
D. The disqualification shall begin with the
first (1st) month following the month the notice of disqualification is
received by the household member.
E. No further administrative appeal procedure
exists after an individual voluntarily waives his/her right to an
administrative disqualification hearing for intentional program violation. The
disqualification penalty cannot be changed by a subsequent fair hearing
decision. However, the household member is entitled to seek relief in a court
having appropriate jurisdiction. The period of disqualification may be subject
to stay by a court of appropriate jurisdiction or other injunctive
remedy.
F. If the waiver is not
returned, the local offices that conduct local-level administrative
disqualification hearings shall, within five (5) working days after the
deadline for receipt of the waiver of administrative hearing, mail to the
household a Notice of Intentional Program Violation Hearing together with a
copy of the hearing procedure.
4.803.42
Scheduling an Administrative
Disqualification Hearing for IPV
A. The
time and place of the state or local-level administrative disqualification
hearing shall be arranged so that the hearing is accessible to the household
member suspected of intentional program violation.
The state-level hearing may be conducted by telephone using
conference call techniques unless one of the parties objects to this method. If
a hearing is held by telephone, the rules of procedure, including recording of
the hearing, shall be the same as a face-to-face hearing. The household member
charged with intentional program violation has the right to request a
face-to-face hearing at any time, including up to and during the telephonic
hearing, but not once the telephonic hearing is concluded.
B. Persons that have been charged with
intentional program violation and notified that a local-level administrative
disqualification hearing has been scheduled have the right to request that
their case be heard by a state-level Administrative Law Judge in the Office of
Administrative Courts within (10) calendar days of being notified of a
local-level hearing. If a state-level hearing is requested, the local office
shall forward the request to the Office of Administrative Courts no later than
three (3) working days from receipt of the request. No local-level
administrative disqualification hearing shall be held if the accused requests a
state-level hearing within these specified guidelines.
C. If the household member or representative
cannot be located or fails to appear at a hearing initiated by the local office
without good cause, the hearing shall be conducted without the household member
represented. However, the household member may subsequently appeal a
disqualification from a decision on the basis of not being notified in
accordance with Section 4.803.43. If the household provides a statement of
non-receipt and the county or the office of administrative courts cannot
document receipt of the notice, a re-hearing of the evidence shall be scheduled
and the previous decision shall no longer be valid. If the household member is
not represented, the hearing official shall carefully consider the evidence and
determine if the individual intended to commit an act of intentional program
violation.
D. If the household
member is found to have committed intentional program violation but the State
Department or a local hearing official later determines that the household
member or representative had good cause for not appearing at a hearing
initiated by the local office, the previous decision shall no longer remain
valid and the Office of Administrative Courts or local-level hearing officer
shall conduct a new hearing. The hearing official who originally ruled on the
case may conduct the new hearing. The household member who has received notice
has a period of ten (10) calendar days from the date of the hearing to present
reasons indicating a good cause for failure to appear. A hearing official shall
enter the good cause into the record.
4.803.43
Notifying a Household of an
IPV Administrative Disqualification Hearing
A. The administrative adjudicator shall
provide written notice to the household member suspected of intentional program
violation at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the date an
administrative disqualification hearing initiated by the local office has been
scheduled.
B. The notice shall be
mailed by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, or by first class mail or
the notice may be served on the individual by any other reliable method, such
as personal delivery by a SNAP worker or other employee, affidavit of service,
Federal Express, etc. If no proof of receipt is obtained, a statement of
non-receipt by the household member shall be considered as good cause for not
appearing at the hearing. The notice shall contain at a minimum:

the household member;
3. A summary
of the evidence and how and where the evidence can be examined;

failure to appear in order to receive a new hearing;
6. A warning that the disqualification
penalties for fraud under SNAP that could be imposed and a statement of which
penalty the hearing officer believes is applicable to the case scheduled for
hearing. The disqualification penalties for fraud are as follows:
a. Twelve (12) month disqualification for the
first (1st) violation, twenty-four month disqualification for the second (2nd)
violation, and permanently for the third (3rd) violation, except as provided
for in paragraphs b, c, d, and e, of this section;
b. Individuals found to have made a
fraudulent statement or representation with respect to the identity or place of
residence of the individual in order to receive multiple food stamp benefits
simultaneously shall be ineligible to participate in the Program for a period
of ten (10) years, except if the client has received his/her 3rd violation. In
such cases, the individual shall be disqualified permanently.
c. Individuals found guilty of purchasing
controlled substances, as defined in section
18-18-102(5),
C.R.S., with SNAP benefits by a court of law shall be ineligible to participate
in the program:
1. For a period of
twenty-four (24) months upon the first occasion of such violation;
and,
2. Permanently upon the second
occasion of such violation.
d. Individuals found by a federal, state, or
local court to have used or received benefits in a transaction involving the
sale of firearms, ammunition or explosives shall be permanently ineligible to
participate in the program upon the first occasion of such violation.
e. An individual convicted by a federal,
state, or local court of having trafficked benefits for an aggregate amount of
five hundred dollars ($500) or more shall be permanently ineligible to
participate in the program upon the first occasion of such violation.
f. The penalties in paragraphs c and d of
this section shall also apply in cases of deferred adjudication as described in
Section 4.804, where the court makes a finding that the individual engaged in
the conduct described in paragraph c and d, of this section.
g. If a court fails to impose a
disqualification or a disqualification period for any IPV, the state department
shall impose the appropriate disqualification penalty specified within this
section, unless it is contrary to the court order.
7. A statement of which penalty the hearing
officer believes is applicable to the case scheduled for the hearing.
8. A statement that the hearing does not
preclude the state or federal government from prosecuting the household member
for fraud in a civil or criminal court action or from collecting the
over-issuance.
9. The name and
telephone number of the agency that the individual can call to obtain free
legal advice.
10. For local offices

ADH.
C. A copy of the
local-level hearing procedures, and the demand letter for over-issuance (if not
sent previously) shall be attached to the thirty (30) day advance notice for
the local-level hearing. The Administrative Law Judge shall provide a copy of
the state hearing procedures with the thirty (30) day advance notice.
D. The Administrative Law Judge shall not
enter a default against the household member for failure to file a written
answer to the notice of hearing but shall base the initial decision upon the
evidence introduced at the hearing.
4.803.44
Participation While Awaiting
an Administrative Disqualification Hearing
A pending state or local-level administrative
disqualification hearing shall not affect the individual's or the household's
right to be certified and to participate in the program. Since the local office
cannot disqualify a household member for intentional program violation until it
obtains a signed waiver of administrative hearing or until the local hearing
official or State Department finds that the individual has committed
intentional program violation, the local office shall determine eligibility and
benefit level of the household in the same manner it would be determined for
any other household.
A. If the action
for which the household member is suspected of intentional program violation
does not affect the household's current circumstances, the household would
continue to receive its allotment based on the latest certification action or
be recertified based on a new application and its current
circumstances.
B. The household's
benefits shall be terminated if the certification period has expired and the
household, after receiving its notice of expiration, fails to
reapply.
C. The local office shall
also reduce or terminate the household's benefits if the local office has
documentation which substantiates that the household is ineligible or eligible
for fewer benefits (even if these facts led to the suspicion of intentional
program violation and resultant hearing) and the household fails to request a
fair hearing after receipt of a Notice of Adverse Action.
4.803.45
Administrative
Disqualification Hearing (ADH) Procedures
A. At the ADH, the Administrative Law Judge
(ALJ) or local hearing officer shall advise the household member or
representative that they may refuse to answer questions during the
hearing.
B. A hearing decision and
notification to the parties shall occur within ninety (90) calendar days from
the date the household member is notified in writing that a state or
local-level hearing requested by the local office has been scheduled.
C. Following the conclusion of the hearing at
the state-level, the ALJ shall prepare and issue an initial decision that shall
contain a determination of whether the county or State Department acted in
accordance with, and properly interpreted the rules and regulations of the
State Department. For the purpose of the decision, material issues of law shall
be defined. The ALJ has no jurisdiction or authority to determine issues of
constitutionality or legality of departmental rules or regulations. This
decision is prepared and filed with the Colorado Department of Human Services
for service to each party.
In the case of a hearing before the Administrative Law Judge
(ALJ), this determination shall be an initial decision to be reviewed by the
Office of Appeals. The initial decision shall not be implemented pending review
by the Office of Appeals and entry of a final agency decision. The initial
decision shall advise the household that failure to file exceptions to
provisions of the initial decision will waive the right to seek judicial review
of a final agency decision affirming those provisions.
D. A local-level hearing officer shall meet
the ninety (90) calendar day timeframe, issue the decision to the client, and
forward a copy to the state department.
E. The household member or his/her
representative is entitled to a postponement of up to thirty (30) calendar days
if the request for postponement is made at least ten (10) calendar days prior
to the scheduled hearing date, unless good cause can be shown for failure to
request postponement within the required timeframe. If the hearing is
postponed, the above limits shall be extended for as many days as the hearing
is postponed.
F. The local office
shall make the hearing procedures in this staff manual available to any
interested party.
G. A verbatim
transcript or recording of testimony and exhibits shall be made. This
transcript or recording together with all papers and requests filed in the

years from the initiation of the action and shall be available to the household
or its representatives during business hours for copying and
inspection.
