2007 Minnesota Statutes

256G.10 DERIVATIVE SETTLEMENT.
The residence of the parent of a minor child, with whom that child last lived in a nonexcluded
time setting, or guardian of a ward shall determine the residence of the child or ward for all social
services governed by this chapter.
For purposes of this chapter, a minor child is defined as being under 18 years of age unless
otherwise specified in a program administered by the commissioner.
Physical or legal custody has no bearing on residence determinations. This section does
not, however, apply to situations involving another state, limit the application of an interstate
compact, or apply to situations involving state wards where the commissioner is defined by
law as the guardian.
