To be eligible for assistance, a client must be a Nebraska resident. A resident is defined as an individual living in the state voluntarily with the intent of making Nebraska his/her home. Migrants and itinerant workers are considered residents of Nebraska if they are living in Nebraska and entered the state to seek employment or to fulfill a job commitment.
Residence starts with the month the client moves into the state, even if the client received categorical assistance in another state. The agency may not deny assistance because an individual has not resided in the state for a specified period.
