Minnesota Residency

The next eligibility criterion to discuss is residence. People requesting MA payment for LTC services must be residents of Minnesota which means they must live in the state with the intent to remain here permanently or for an indefinite period of time. The state of residence is the state in which the client resides and intends to remain. For clients residing in an institution, the state of residence is the state in which the institution is located.

Note: Residency is not verified unless inconsistent information is received. Receipt of a Public Assistance Reporting Information System (PARIS) interstate match is inconsistent information and verification of residency is required.

There are some nuances to the residency requirement to be aware of for people residing in an LTCF. Click on each of the links below to learn more about residency policy as it applies in that situation.
