An individual is a resident of Oregon if the individual lives in Oregon. If an individual is in Oregon solely for a vacation, that individual is not a resident. An individual continues to be a resident of Oregon during a temporary period of absence if the individual intends to return when the purpose of the absence is completed. For TA-DVS, there is no minimum amount of time the survivor must live in Oregon to be a resident. If the survivor intends to move out of Oregon because of domestic violence, they do not need to intend to continue residing in Oregon. Click here for examples: Residency. Oregon Administrative Rule(s) 461-110-0210 — Household Group 461-120-0010 — Residency Requirements 461-135-1200 — Specific Requirements; TA-DVS Relationship The relationship (responsibility, age, legal and biological) between individuals in the same household can affect eligibility in many ways. It is important to gather each person’s relationship to every other person on the application and in the home. During the interview, SSP will inquire about roommates or significant others. It is important that ODHS knows who is living together; this can be important in the future, if not now, especially if there is a pregnancy or common children. If there are minor children in the home, it is important to determine who has care and control of the children. In the TA-DVS Program, survivors may be living in temporary living situations. It is very helpful to determine who they are living with and the relationship. This helps identify potential resources, safety concerns and confidentiality.
