MSA, GRH: People do not lose state residence during a period of temporary absence from the state. People who are outside the United States for an entire calendar month are ineligible for that month.
Verify intent to remain in Minnesota ONLY if questionable. See 0010.18.08 (Verifying State Residence - Cash).
GA: A person must be a state resident to be eligible. A state resident is a person who has lived in Minnesota for at least 30 days with the intent of making Minnesota his/her home. There are certain EXCEPTIONS to this requirement. See 0011.06.09 (State Residence - 30-Day Requirement).
Do not deny an application or addendum solely because the client does not meet state residency criteria. Leave the case pending until the client meets the residency requirements or until you can establish eligibility or ineligibility.
A client who indicates an out-of-state residence or who lives in an excluded time facility is not a state resident if she/he indicates intent to leave Minnesota within 30 days from the date of application. See 0011.06.03 (State Residence - Excluded Time) for EXCEPTION for residents of domestic violence shelters.
Verify intent to remain in Minnesota ONLY if questionable. See 0010.18.08 (Verifying State Residence - Cash).
