Terms Used In Florida Statutes 951.28
- Entitlement: A Federal program or provision of law that requires payments to any person or unit of government that meets the eligibility criteria established by law. Entitlements constitute a binding obligation on the part of the Federal Government, and eligible recipients have legal recourse if the obligation is not fulfilled. Social Security and veterans' compensation and pensions are examples of entitlement programs.
Upon consultation with the Department of Law Enforcement and the Social Security Administration, the county sheriff or chief correctional officer or his or her designee shall establish and implement a process to submit to the Social Security Administration, directly or indirectly, sufficient and necessary information to identify incarcerated persons who are wrongfully receiving entitlement benefits and payments.
