It's my understanding that no, WE cannot. No food stamps and no welfare, no HUD, nothing that I know of. My convictions were for drugs. Now that I've successfully completed a 6 month inpatient rehab program, I'm looking for a job. I have amazing skills in bookkeeping, office management as well as can do anything with a computer. In this job market, in this economy, good luck finding a job at all, let alone for the convicted felon fresh out of rehab. Seems like a vicious cycle because I know plenty of people that would give up trying to do the right thing and go right back to selling drugs. At least they don't discriminate.
Some can, some can't. Depends on the offense and when it occurred.
In Texas, if the charge was for drugs & was prior to 9/1996, you can get food stamps. After that, a drug felon can never get food stamps.
In California, convicted drug felons cannot receive food stamps (or SNAP as it is now called). Not sure about other kinds of felonies.
If someone has their record expunged, they can receive assistance again and will be eligible from the time that their record is expunged, provided that they meet all of the other requirements.
the issue was addressed in an All County Letter dated 9/23/1999.
I think it depends on the State and also what kind of "drug" conviction, but I believe more than likely the answer is "no". I'm certainly no expert but this is what I have heard. Then again, I think it depends on what type of "drug" conviction....street drugs versus, say, forgery of prescription medicines. Hope this answer helps.
