Are you saying if she was living out in California for 1 year, she could of had her own address even though she was still living with her relatives.>>




No…if that was her address then that was her address. BUT in your first post your implication was that “she simply provided her aunts address on app, so she was charged as a California resident.”…not that she was REALLY a resident. Having one’s own address does not necessarily mean one has bought their own home. You could be sharing a place, living with relatives, or renting. What it does mean is that this home is your PRIMARY place of residence…not a temporary place to stay or an address used simply to indicate instate residency. If this relative really lived and worked (not while attending school) in the state for sufficient time (I don’t know the CA requirements) then they would qualify. If not, they were not being totally honest and they were simply lucky they did not get caught.
