What did you do with your mail? Forward to P.O. Box? I’m wondering if my health insurance requires me to have a residential address in my current state. I want to move out of state for 3-4 months and return when we have to go back into the office.

Anyone else figured out what to do? My lease is up next month.

    Look up USPS mail forwarding, you can set a date for when the forwarded mail stops sending to the new address

    You also need to carefully manage where your residential address is. If your move is temporary (new state is not becoming your residence), you may want to set up lease through a friend to maintain legal residence in home state. So that would be the residence address for your drivers license, but use UPS Mailboxes or similar as your mailing address.

      Your issue is that once your lease ends, your residency may by default shift to the new state. I am not a lawyer, this is something you need to research closely ... not only for health care, but tax liability, drivers license (typically much be changed with in 10 to 30 with your new residence), etc. If you are going to CA and they decide you were a resident, that tax hit could be huge!!!

      Maybe you think you can get away with it. But what if you are in an accident, police arrive and take information, and decided to issue you a ticket? What address do you give? The one on your license you no longer live at? The one their database has flagged as a mailbox location? Your local address where you are staying? Gets complicated fast over a minor incident....

      That is why my suggestion is possibly set up a light weight lease agreement with a friend; and maybe couch surf there once or twice. Change your drivers license to there; and then just go on extended temporary travel to somewhere.

      Finally, if you are actually working from that other state, it may get complicated anyway. Hence, check with lawyer and the laws of the other state.

    Find local UPS Mailboxes. Set up as your mailing address for everything. They can forward to you every few weeks if you do t return back to the area for a while.
