Individuals Living in Institutions
For the purposes of this section, an "institution" is an establishment that furnishes food, shelter and some treatment or services to 4 or more persons unrelated to the proprietor. A "wilderness camp" could be an institution if it provides food, shelter (even tents) and some treatment or services to 4 or more teens unrelated to the proprietor.
An institutionalized individual under age 21 who is not emancipated is a resident of the State:
Where the parent (or legal guardian, if parental rights have been terminated) is living at the time of placement; or
Where the parent (or legal guardian, if parental rights have been terminated) who filed the application is living; or
Where the person who applied for medical assistance on the child's behalf is living, if the child has been abandoned by his parents and no legal guardian has been appointed, if the child is institutionalized in that same state.
An individual residing in an institution who is under age 21, capable of stating intent, and emancipated or married, is a resident of the state in which the individual is living with the intent to reside.
