22-02 Version of 22.3 Interagency Case Transfer

A case transfer occurs when the primary person who is currently receiving benefits (or whose benefits have been closed for less than one calendar month) reports that they have moved to a different county or tribal area. The only exception to this is protective placements (see Section 2.3.2 Intercounty Placements).

A case transfer does not impact the certification period(s) of the 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.
