If you move out of the county that you lived in when you applied, the county worker will have to change the information on your case so that you can continue to get medical coverage without difficulty. If you move out of state, you may still be eligible for medical benefits in your new state, but you will have to apply for benefits in the new state of residence. MC 250 A Page 1 (Rev 12/14) ENG
