S.D. Admin. R. 67:10:01:11
Eligibility of a dependent child is not affected if the child has been or is expected to be absent from the home for a period of not more than 90 consecutive days as long as the caretaker relative continues to provide a home to which the child can return at any time and continues to have primary responsibility for the major decisions as to the child's discipline and welfare.
The caretaker relative must notify the department of the child's absence within five days of the date it becomes clear to the parent that the child will be absent for 90 days. If the caretaker relative fails to notify the department, the caretaker relative is ineligible for assistance and an overpayment results.
