Section 120
Section 120.311  Residence
a)         Only those persons who are legally admitted to the United
States can be found to be residents of the State of Illinois.
b)         In order to be eligible an individual must be a resident of
Illinois, but does not require actual physical presence within the State.
c)         An individual is a resident of Illinois if living in Illinois
(as defined by Section 2‑10 of the Illinois Public Aid Code, Ill. Rev.
Stat. 1983, ch. 23, par. 2-10) or if living in an out-of-state institution (as
defined at 42 CFR 435.403(b)(1984)) and was placed there by an Illinois Agency
unless:
1)         the individual maintains a house, apartment or other home in
another State; or
2)         the individual voluntarily leaves the out-of-state institution
in which the individual was placed by an Illinois agency and does not return to
Illinois; or
3)         the individual is receiving a State Supplementary Payments (as
defined at 42 CFR 435.4 (1984), Mandatory State Supplement or Optional State
Supplement) from another State as a resident of that State; or
4)         the individual was placed in an institution located in
Illinois by another State.
d)         An out-of-State Title IV-E eligible adoption assistance/foster
care child living in Illinois is considered an Illinois resident for medical
assistance coverage.
e)         An Illinois resident who is temporarily absent from the State
retains Illinois residency if the individual intends to return to Illinois when
the reason for the absence is accomplished.  If an individual remains outside
of Illinois for a continous period of more than twelve (12) months, he/she must
provide evidence (e.g. a copy of his/her most recent State Income Tax return)
documenting that the absence was not due to an intent to change his/her
residency.
