Best Answer

Aside from the reasons for being in jail in the first place, it probably violated the terms of receiving the benefits. You have to be willing, able, and actively seeking full time employment constantly and generally have to report your progress weekly. You might reopen the claim afterwards, but it depends on each individual state on that.
