As far as providing state benefits (health insurance) to the whole state population Alaska has provided an example. When the Permanent Fund dividends were being given out the payout was based on a formula that the amount an individual received was based on total years of residency. The courts ruled this method was discriminatory to the citizens. The payout process was changed to require a full calendars residency (January 1st to December 31st) to become eligible for the dividend. You then applied in the spring of the next year to receive the dividend in October. This kept a lot of people from just moving up here for a short period just to collect the dividend checks.

And the State carefully check out any first time applicant for the dividend.
