HUMAN SERVICES > CHAPTER 71. MEDICAID ONLY > SUBCHAPTER 3. ELIGIBILITY FACTORS § 10:71-3.4 Residence requirement An applicant for or beneficiary of Medicaid Only shall be a resident of the State of New Jersey. History HISTORY: Amended by R.2000 d.415, effective October 16, 2000. See: 32 N.J.R. 2565(a), 32 N.J.R. 3844(a). Substituted "beneficiary" for "recipient". Annotations Notes Chapter Notes Case Notes Initial Decision (2009 N.J. AGEN LEXIS 312) adopted, which found that petitioner met the residency requirement for Medicaid because, although she and her husband had been out of the country for two years, they did not leave New Jersey with the intent to establish a permanent residence in Uruguay; rather, the couple left New Jersey for a temporary visit or vacation in Uruguay, which was unexpectedly elongated due to sudden illness and treatment. The convergence of the couple's return from Uruguay and the need to apply for Medicaid was due to a coincidence of calamity, and the record was bereft of any evidence that they flew to New Jersey for a temporary visit or to secure health care funded by Medicaid.
