142A.27 ADMINISTRATIVE FRAUD DISQUALIFICATION HEARINGS.

A local agency must initiate an administrative fraud disqualification hearing for individuals accused of wrongfully obtaining assistance or intentional program violations, in lieu of a criminal action when it has not been pursued, in the Minnesota family investment program and any affiliated program to include the diversionary work program and the work participation cash benefit program, child care assistance programs, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The Department of Children, Youth, and Families, in lieu of a local agency, may initiate an administrative fraud disqualification hearing when the state agency is directly responsible for administration or investigation of the program for which benefits were wrongfully obtained. The hearing is subject to the requirements of sections 142A.20 and 256.0451 and the requirements in Code of Federal Regulations, title 7, section 273.16.
