Transferring a Case to a Different County 415-40-30 (Revised 10/1/2021 ML #3625) View Archives

If the county social service office learns that a family is moving, the move is treated as a case change.

Although it is the responsibility of the household to notify the vendor that they will be moving, the original eligibility worker will want to confirm that the vendor has been notified in order to avoid complications at a late date for the new county. The possibility of overpayments will exist if the household failed to notify the original county or the vendor of the move and renter benefits were paid or fuel was delivered after the date of the move.

If an overpayment exists or may exist, it will be the responsibility of the new county to pursue the overpayment.
