Text

Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, any person, in order to be entitled to assistance, shall have an established residency in the state, and in the county where the application is made. The residency shall be established by his personal presence, in a fixed and permanent abode and his intention to remain there. In determining the residency of an applicant the county commissioners may consider the establishment of a local bank account by the applicant, the applicant's driver's license address, an automobile registration, the enrollment of applicant's children in a local school, and the applicant's voter registration; however, the absence of any of the above considerations shall not be a positive determination of nonresidency.
