7557 Any other required actions, such as handling pending actions not completed by the transferring county, should be handled as necessary. See “Note” below. The established review period for the TANF-only case will not change. For a TANF/SNAP combination case transfer, the SNAP certification period will remain unchanged. Transfer Procedures/Add-a-Program When a report is received that a TANF-only household is moving to another county and intends to apply for SNAP, the transferring county should handle all pending actions (claims, IEVS, and other alerts), document the change of address on the ADDR screen in MAVERICS, and ensure that all steps for transfer are followed according to instructions noted above under “Responsibilities of Transferring County”. Regardless of the timing of the request/application, the receiving county must handle eligibility determination for the new program. Example: The Jones household receives TANF benefits, reports to their worker in County “A” that the family is moving to another county and wants to apply for SNAP. No SNAP application is submitted at the time of the reported move. County A will ensure that all necessary transfer procedures and any pending actions are handled, then CARC the case to County “B”. In turn, County B will be responsible for handling the household’s request to add SNAP, such as providing the household an appointment, conducting the interview, and obtaining necessary verification to determine eligibility for SNAP. Example: The Jones household, receiving TANF benefits, submits an application for SNAP in County A on April 5. County A schedules the add-a-program appointment for April 11. On April 9, Ms. Jones reports the household has moved to County “B”. County A must ensure that the application and all documents are scanned to Interwoven/Worksite and that all necessary transfer actions are handled prior to case transfer. County A must notify County B of the transfer and pending SNAP application. County B must provide the household with rescheduled appointment, adhering to timeliness standards of the application submitted April 5. Communication between each county is essential to ensure that transfer procedures are handled timely. NOTE: In add-a-program situations, whether handling a new TANF or new SNAP application, normal timeliness standards will apply.
