Section 148.3. Residence verification requirements

In addition to the person’s statement of intent to remain a resident of this Commonwealth, proof of residence shall be provided before MA is authorized. The person is not required to have a fixed or permanent address.

(1) The applicant/recipient, or a person acting on his behalf, is responsible for providing verification of residence.

(2) Verification consists of documentation specified by the Department and includes rent receipts, an affidavit from a person other than the applicant/recipient, receipts for mortgage or utility payments, a deed or driver’s license.

(3) For a homeless applicant/recipient who is unable to provide the required documentation, a collateral contact with someone who confirms, in writing, that the applicant/recipient lives in this Commonwealth is considered acceptable verification of residence.
