Universal Citation: 89 IL Admin Code ยง 240.755

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 38, September 20, 2024

a) To be eligible for CCP, a participant must be a resident of the State of Illinois as defined in Section 2-10 of the Public Aid Code [305 ILCS 5].

b) Only those persons who are legally admitted to the U.S. can be found to be residents of the State of Illinois. The residency of a participant is based on one of the following factors:

1) A participant whose residence is located in Illinois, but whose U.S. Post Office address indicates a state other than Illinois (i.e., a participant residing near the State line), is a resident of Illinois;

2) An individual currently living in Illinois and receiving a State Supplementary Payment (as defined in 42 CFR 435.4), Mandatory State Supplement or Optional State Supplement from a different state, is not a resident of Illinois for purposes of CCP eligibility;

3) A participant who is incapable of stating their intent to remain in Illinois is a resident of Illinois if they currently lives in Illinois.

c) The Department cannot deny eligibility to a participant who, although currently residing in Illinois, has not lived in this State for a specific period of time. 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 continuous period of more than 12 months, they will provide evidence (e.g., a copy of their most recent State Income Tax return) documenting that the absence was not due to an intent to change their residency.

d) The Department cannot deny eligibility to a participant who is temporarily absent from Illinois and plans to return when the purpose of his/her absence has been completed unless the absence will exceed 60 calendar days or unless the other state has determined that the participant is a resident of that state.
