Temporary absence from the state with subsequent return to the state, or intent to return when the purpose of the absence has been accomplished, is allowed and may not cause loss of residency. The household is responsible for receiving mail and cooperating by providing all the information needed to establish or continue eligibility. See manual section A-300 for allowable absences. Households living in Nevada for any purpose other than vacation, regardless of the length of time they have been here or plan to stay, meet the residency requirement. Households applying for SNAP benefits are not required to reside in a permanent dwelling or have a fixed mailing address. The customer’s statement is sufficient verification the household is residing in the State of Nevada for any reason other than vacation. Temporary household absences are allowed, e.g., vacationing with friends/ relatives or staying in a training institution, etc. However, a determination of the duration of the absence must be made. A household will remain eligible as long as residency has been maintained. For example: A school teacher works from September to June. In June the teacher travels out of state to visit family and will not return until August. The teacher maintains their physical residence and does not apply for assistance in the other state. Eligibility for this household continues as Nevada residency has not been terminated. A person convicted in federal or state court, upon prosecution by the state agency, or found by the state agency of fraudulently misrepresenting residence to receive multiple TANF or SNAP benefits simultaneously from two or more states is ineligible for 10 years. 920 VERIFICATION OF RESIDENCY (TOC) Determine if the household intends to remain in Nevada at each application and review of eligibility. Residency must be verified at each application, anytime a household reports a move, the agency discovers they have moved, or the place of residence becomes questionable. At the annual review of eligibility, previous verification regarding residency can be pulled forward if the household has not reported or the agency has not been made aware of a new address. Verify residency at each application/recertification. Previous verification regarding residency can be pulled forward at recertification if the household has not reported a new address.
