Live-in Attendant A live-in attendant lives in the group's home to provide housekeep- ing, medical or child care, or similar personal services. Persons who take someone into their own home to provide such services are not live-in attendants. The live-in attendant may apply for FAP as a separate group. Note: Spouses, parents and children, and persons acting as a parent and the children they care for cannot be live-in attendants for one another, regardless of the actual situation.

Exception: Residents of shelters for victims of domestic violence; see BEM 617. If the person is a mandatory group member, action must be taken as soon as possible to remove them from their former group and add them to the new group.
