Significant Gainful Employment

  1. An employer’s statement of dates of employment in Texas; proof of self-employment; or proof of other income such as pensions, veteran’s benefits, social security or savings from previous earnings. Documents must include the beginning and current or ending dates that encompass 12 consecutive months prior to enrollment. Employment based on student status such as college work study does not constitute gainful employment for purposes of establishing a domicile.
  2. For a person unemployed and living on public assistance, written statements from one or more social service agencies located in Texas indicating services were provided for at least 12 consecutive months prior to enrollment.
