    Yes the probation department has the right to ask and know everything about them. Most likely it is for them to keep track of how much money they have ( do they have fines or other money to pay the court) What is the crime they are on probation for ?

    And why are they having a problem telling them, Are they hiding something ?

    They don't have to give it, and they can merely just go to jail instead.

    Hello P:

    A citizen who hasn't been convicted of a crime in a court of law, HAS rights against searches such as you describe. However, a person who is a convicted criminal who is serving a sentence does NOT have the same rights as one who has NOT been convicted.
