Description

Federal district court decision. Under the statute, the fleeing felon provision on which Social Security relies to terminate benefits only applies if a person intends to flee from prosecution, not if a warrant exists but was unknown to the person at the time she left the jurisdiction. Contrary to Social Security?s argument that a person with an outstanding warrant is a fleeing felon under the statute until the warrant is resolved, the statute and applicable regulations in fact require a court finding that the person is in fact fleeing prosecution.
