RCA MOVES WITHIN THE STATE

0030.27

When a client moves within the state, this may affect how their RCA case is administered. Moves involve good communication between the original county of residence and the new county of residence. Moves involving PPP (Public-Private Partnership) administered counties will also involve the PPP RCA eligibility staff in the local resettlement agencies. The county staff and the local resettlement agency PPP RCA eligibility staff should consult on who will perform the tasks listed below.

MOVE FROM A PPP ADMINISTERED COUNTY TO A COUNTY ADMINISTERED PROGRAM

When an RCA participant moves from 1 of the 12 PPP administered counties to a county administered program, the transferring county and/or local resettlement agency PPP RCA eligibility worker must: ● Contact the local resettlement agency PPP RCA eligibility worker/county financial worker regarding the move to determine who will complete the transfer tasks.

● Enter the last day of the month of the move as an end date on STAT/ALTP.

● Remove the local resettlement agency PPP RCA eligibility worker logon id as the secondary worker in SPEC/XFER.

● Transfer the MAXIS case to the new county of residence.

If the participant does not have an EBT card, the new county of residence must contact the participant to schedule an appointment for the participant to attend EBT training and issue the EBT card.

The new county of residence should review the RCA case and follow the policies and procedures for maintaining the RCA case through the remainder of the eligibility period. This includes the policies regarding referral and participation in employment services in the new county of residence, sanctions for non compliance and recovery of overpayments when applicable.

MOVE FROM A COUNTY ADMINISTERED TO A PPP ADMINISTERED PROGRAM

When an RCA participant moves from a county administered program to 1 of the 12 PPP administered counties, the transferring county worker must: ● Inform the participant that their RCA case will close effective the 2nd month after the move. Require them to apply for RCA with a local resettlement agency administering the RCA program. (For example, the unit moves on 3/19/15. The RCA will close effective 5/1/15). The RCA participant is required to complete an interview with a local resettlement agency worker. The local resettlement agency PPP RCA eligibility worker must ensure that a referral is made to an RCA-Employment Service Provider in the new county of residence.

● Provide the participant with the contact name/number for the new county of residence:
