SUMMARY:

Limitations on AFDC benefits to parolees and probationers. Requires that probation and parole officers notify local departments of social services when persons under their supervision have failed a drug screening test. Upon such notification, the local department of social services shall pay the AFDC benefits to a third party for the benefit of the assistance unit for twelve months. The parolee or probationer shall be ineligible for AFDC financial assistance for a period of one year and may be reinstated as payee of benefits at the end of the year. A parolee or probationer whose benefits are revoked because of failed drug tests shall be considered an AFDC recipient for all other purposes, and shall not become ineligible for Medicaid.
