10 CCR 2506-1-4.303 - RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

A. Applicants shall live in the county or district in which they make application for the Program unless the local office has made arrangements to allow particular households to file an application in a nearby specified county/district office.

B. Individuals may not participate in more than one (1) household in the same month unless they are a resident of a shelter for battered women and children, nor may a household participate in more than one (1) county or district in any month unless all household members are residents of a shelter for battered women and children.

Households on Indian reservations participating in the Commodity Food Distribution Program for a particular period shall not be allowed to participate in SNAP during the same period. Participation shall be limited to participation in the Commodity Food Distribution Program or SNAP.

C. Applicants who maintain a residence in the county or district for any purpose other than a vacation, regardless of the length of time they have resided in the county or district, shall be considered eligible for the Program, provided other eligibility requirements are met.

D. Applicants who reside in a county, without residing in a permanent dwelling nor having a fixed mailing address, shall be considered eligible for the Program, provided other eligibility requirements are met. Migrant campsites satisfy the residency requirement, as do shelters for the homeless. Homeless persons satisfy the residency requirement as long as dual participation in any month of eligibility is not allowed.

E. In no instance shall there be a durational residency requirement imposed upon the applicant. Intent to permanently remain in the state shall not be a condition of eligibility.

F. The application contains spaces for both a physical address and a mailing address. If the household has a mailing address that is different than the household's physical address, the certification worker should ensure that both addresses are given. For households residing in a permanent dwelling, a mailing address only, such as post office box or rural route, will not be sufficient, as it does not indicate the household resides in the county. In such cases, information should be given that can identify the location of the home. An exception to the requirement for physical location may be granted for residents of shelters for battered women and children and those that lack a permanent dwelling.
