3023 Residence

Applicants must reside in Delaware to be eligible for benefits. Persons including the homeless (those with no fixed address or not living in a permanent dwelling) who currently live in Delaware and plan to stay, regardless of the length of time they have been here, meet the residency requirement. Verification of residence is required at the time of application, at each subsequent redetermination, and any time an address change is reported. Persons who reside in Delaware but because of local mailing practices have an out- of- state address are considered residents. Examples of acceptable verification of residence are a landlord statement, a lease, a utility bill, or a collateral statement.
