1 Tex. Admin. Code § 372.251 - Residency Requirements for TANF
(a) A
person must be a Texas resident to be eligible for TANF benefits. A person
meets the residency requirement if the Texas Health and Human Services
Commission (HHSC) determines the person lives in Texas and intends to remain in
Texas permanently or for an indefinite time.
(b) A migrant or itinerant worker meets the
residency requirement if HHSC determines the migrant or itinerant worker lives
in Texas, entered the state with a job commitment or an intention to seek
employment, and is not receiving TANF benefits from another state.
(c) A TANF recipient who leaves Texas but
returns within 90 days and declares the out-of-state stay was not permanent may
establish residency for the period the person was out of state, as determined
by HHSC, and may be eligible for retroactive TANF benefits for the period the
person was out of state.
