The commissioner may make grants to state agencies and political subdivisions to construct or rehabilitate facilities for early childhood programs, crisis nurseries, or parenting time centers.

(2) A grant for an individual facility must not exceed $500,000 for each program that is housed in the facility, up to a maximum of $2,000,000 for a facility that houses three programs or more. Programs include Head Start, School Readiness, Early Childhood Family Education, licensed child care, and other early childhood intervention programs. (3) State appropriations must be matched on a 50 percent basis with nonstate funds. The matching requirement must apply program wide and not to individual grants. (4) At least 80 percent of grant funds must be distributed to facilities located in counties not included in the definition under section 473.121, subdivision 4. Subd. 2. Grant priority.

2021 Minnesota Statutes|Chapters 245 - 267 — Public Welfare And Related Activities|Chapter 256G — Unitary Residence And Financial Responsibility|Section 256G.03 — Establishing Residence.

256G.03 ESTABLISHING RESIDENCE. Subdivision 1. State residence. For purposes of this chapter, a resident of any Minnesota county is considered a state resident. Subd. 2. No durational test. Except as otherwise provided in sections 256J.75; 256B.056, subdivision 1; 256D.02, subdivision 12a, and 256J.12 for purposes of this chapter, no waiting period is required before securing county or state residence. A person cannot, however, gain residence while physically present in an excluded time facility unless otherwise specified in this chapter or in a federal regulation controlling a federally funded human service program. Interstate migrants who enter a shelter for battered women directly from another state can gain residency while in the facility provided the person can provide documentation that the person is a victim of domestic abuse and the county determines that the placement is appropriate. Subd. 3. Use of Code of Federal Regulations. In the event that federal legislation eliminates the federal regulatory basis for medical assistance, the state shall continue to determine eligibility for Minnesota's medical assistance program using the provisions of Code of Federal Regulations, title 42, as construed on the day prior to their federal repeal, except as expressly superseded in chapter 256B, or as superseded by federal law, or as modified by state rule or by regulatory waiver granted to the state.

2021 Minnesota Statutes|Chapters 245 - 267 — Public Welfare And Related Activities|Chapter 256G — Unitary Residence And Financial Responsibility|Section 256G.04 — Determination Of Residence.

256G.04 DETERMINATION OF RESIDENCE. Subdivision 1. Time of determination. For purposes of establishing financial responsibility, residence must be determined as of the date a local agency receives a signed request or signed application or the date of eligibility, whichever is later. This subdivision extends to cases in which the applicant may move to another county after the date of application but before the grant or service is actually approved. Subd. 2. Moving out of state. A person retains county and state residence so long as the person's absence from Minnesota is viewed as a temporary absence within the context of the affected program. Direct entry into a facility in another state does not end Minnesota residence for purposes of this chapter. Financial responsibility does not continue, however, unless placement was initiated by a human service agency or another governmental entity that has statutory authority to bind the human service agency and is based on a formal, written plan of treatment, or unless federal regulations require payment for an out-of-state resident.

Except as provided in subdivision 4, a person who has applied for and is receiving services or assistance under a program governed by this chapter, in any county in this state, and who moves to another county in this state, is entitled to continue to receive that service from the county from which that person has moved until that person has resided in nonexcluded status for two full calendar months in the county to which that person has moved. Subd. 2. Transfer of records. Before the person has resided in nonexcluded status for two calendar months in the county to which that person has moved, the local agency of the county from which the person has moved shall complete an eligibility review and transfer all necessary records relating to that person to the local agency of the county to which the person has moved. Subd. 3. Continuation of case. When the case is terminated for 30 days or less before the recipient reapplies, that case remains the financial responsibility of the county from which the recipient moved until the residence requirement in subdivision 1 is met. Subd. 3a.  [Repealed, 1996 c 451 art 2 s 61] Subd. 4. Social service provision. The types and level of social services to be provided in any case governed by this chapter are those otherwise provided in the county in which the person is physically residing at the time those services are provided.

Initiating county responsible. The initial responsible county retains responsibility when adequate facts are not submitted to provide a sufficient legal basis for the transfer of responsibility.

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.
