To be eligible for a Medicaid-funded program for the elderly and people with disabilities, a person must be a resident of the United States (U.S.) and the state of Texas.

(A) The U.S. residence requirement
does not apply to:
(i) a child who is a
citizen and is living with a parent who is a member of the U.S. Armed Forces
assigned to permanent duty ashore outside the U.S.; or
(ii) to certain persons temporarily abroad
for study.

eligible for benefits, a person must maintain a presence in the U.S. in
accordance with

person has been outside the U.S. for 30 consecutive days, the person is not
eligible for benefits until the person has been in the U.S. for 30 consecutive
days.
