    Do you lose assistance from the state if you have a felon move in with you?
    Ok I have a friend who is getting help from the state to pay for rent, food, medical, daycare, and whatever else. Well they have a friend who is on parole with a felony charge and is needing a place to live. We were wondering if the friend with the felony moves in with them if they will lose all help from the state or not.

    In some States, yes. In other States, no.

    Your friend needs to call her caseworker and ask.

    You may possibly mess up your benefits of rent, food, etc by having another person added to your household regardless if they are a felon or not. Don't just assume that adding another person to your household is legal. As Judy pointed out, contact your caseworker on the specific rules for your state as the "new" household member may totally disqualify you for your present level of assistance.
