OTHER ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS STATE RESIDENCE AND RESPONSIBILITY ASSISTANCE

ASSISTANCE TO PERSONS TEMPORARILY ABSENT

If an individual is placed in a medical institution in another state, the district which placed him/her continues to be responsible for all covered necessary medical expenses incurred outside the state, since the local district arranged for the placement in a medical institution. If, however, an individual voluntarily placed him/herself in a chronic care facility in another state, abandoning his/her former residence, s/he may be considered a resident of the state to which s/he moved.

NOTE: Generally, in cases involving a question of state residence, the intent of the client to establish a permanent dwelling is the primary consideration, as long as the A/R’s action is consistent with his/her intent.

Disposition: When an A/R is found to have established a legal residence (domicile) outside of New York State, a timely and adequate notice is sent to the A/R that s/he is no longer eligible for Medicaid in New York State and that s/he should apply for assistance in the State to which s/he moved.
