Living here more than temporarily.
Living here temporarily, not receiving MA from another state, and is a migrant farm worker or living with a family member who is a migrant farm worker.
Living in another state when Wisconsin or one of its county agencies has legal custody of him/her.
Living here and is an EBD MA case (the person's eligibility is based on blindness or disability.)
In an institution
The residence of an institutionalized person under age 21 when his/her parents or legal guardian lives outside of Wisconsin is the state in which the parent or legal guardian states the institutionalized person is present, and intends to stay.
If the parents have abandoned him/her and no legal guardian has been appointed, his/her residence is the state in which the institution is, if the person making the MA application lives in that same state.
If s/he is married, his/her residence is the institution's state.
In an institution
The residence of an institutionalized person aged 21 or over is the state in which s/he is residing with the intent to remain.
If s/he is incapable of indicating intent, his/her residence is determined in the same way as the residence of an institutionalized person under age 21.
