7559 verification, the report should be processed and the case transferred to the new county, following normal transfer procedures. Should the transferring county not receive requested verification, resulting in case closure, or the case closes due to no return of the interim report, the case status should be documented on CADM and the receiving county notified. All possible action should be taken by the transferring county prior to case transfer. See Chapter 6, INTERIM REPORTS.

Active Cases - Add-a-Program For households participating in one program that move to another county and apply for a new program, an application may be registered in the new county. Upon registration, the currently active case in the former county will be automatically CARCed to the new county. MAVERICS will issue notice X820, SNAP/TANF Transfer, informing the household that the currently active case has been transferred to the new county of residence. At case transfer, the former county of residence will be notified via system alerts issued to the case worker and director in that county. Example: The Jones household, currently receiving SNAP benefits in County A, moves to County B and applies for TANF.

This action will generate system notice X820, SNAP/TANF Transfer, notifying the household that the SNAP case is being transferred to County B. The case will be available for processing the same day. Example: A TANF Work Program (TWP) household in County A moves to County B and applies
