“Legal residence,” for purposes of the Travel Plan, shall mean the participant’s fixed and full-time place of abode. The Travel Plan may require verification of a participant’s legal residence through requests for documentation or information evidencing the residence of the participant at the time of, and prior to, the participant’s death. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a participant physically lives at an address for a period of 180 days or more within the twelve (12) month period prior to the participant’s death, that address, as opposed to the current legal address identified above, will be considered the participant’s legal address. A nursing home will be deemed a participant’s legal residence if the participant stays at the nursing home for a period of 180 days or more.
If Participant enrolls in the Travel Plan while Participant is away from his or her legal residence, the plan of assistance will not become effective until the Participant has returned to his or her legal residence for subsequent travel.
