Department of Human Services Families First Online Policy Manual Residence	Revised:
10.1	POLICY STATEMENT	Table of Contents
	As a condition of eligibility, a Families First assistance unit must reside in Tennessee. Families First does not have a county residence requirement; however, the application is to be filed in the county of residence for processing purposes. · A resident is one who is: - Living in the state/county voluntarily with the intention of making his/her home here and not for a temporary purpose (persons in the state or county for visits or vacations are not residents); and - Living, at the time of application in the state/county, not receiving benefits from another locality, and has entered the state/county with a job commitment; or - Seeking employment, whether or not currently employed. This definition enables migrant and itinerant workers and their families to establish residence in the location where they came for employment purposes. · No individual may receive benefits as a member of more than one assistance unit, in more than one county or state, within the same month. · There is no durational residency requirement for Families First.
