When the caretaker has moved to another county, the case file will be transferred to the new county and the current certificate will remain in effect if no mandatory changes were reported that need to be acted on.

 

The caretaker may report to either the receiving or the sending county that they are moving or have moved. The county to whom the caretaker reported the move is responsible to inform the family what is needed to allow assistance to continue based on the family’s circumstances.

 

When transferring the case to the new county, the eligibility worker must change the caretaker’s address and the fields "Worker ID" and "County" on the Change Master to reflect the information of the receiving county. Transferring the case file to the new county will include use of the SFN 700, “Case Transfer Log” (in 448 manual).

 

Consistent with Service Chapter 448, the eligibility worker from the sending county is responsible to complete any unresolved actions in the individual’s case prior to transferring the file to the receiving county.
