A case transfer does not impact the certification period(s) of case members. A new application or renewal is not required when a case is transferred.
The agency to which the member reports the move must collect information about the changes, including the new residential address. If the agency does not have sufficient information about the changed circumstances, it must request information from the member according to the verification policy in Chapter 20 Verification.
See Process Help 6.1 Interagency Case / RFA Transfer Process.
Some Wisconsin residents, due to serious and persistent medical impairments, may need protective services or protective placement by a county agency. These placement options ensure that anyone with such an impairment is placed in a living arrangement that has the least amount of restriction on their rights and that they are protected from abuse, financial exploitation, neglect, and self-neglect.
When a county 51.42 board, 51.437 board, human services department, or social services department places a person in a care facility that is located in another county, the placing county remains responsible for the applicant. This does not include situations where a guardian or the member elects to voluntarily move the member to another county.
For interstate placements, see Section 6.8 Interstate Placements.
