3004.1 Living in the home

The parent's or caretaker's statement that the child is living in the home must be verified at the time of application and at each subsequent redetermination. A home is defined as the family setting where the child and the caretaker reside. The home exists even if the child or caretaker is temporarily absent (See DSSM 3023.4, 3023.5, and 3023.6). The child is considered living with the caretaker even if the child is under the jurisdiction of the court (e.g., receiving probation services or protective supervision) or legal custody is held by an agency, as long as the child continues to live at home. 14 DE Reg. 304 (10/01/10)
