ESTABLISHING PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY IN AFDC-RELATED MEDICAID § 10:69-3.24 Change of county residence (a) Responsibility for AFDC-related Medicaid, and Medicaid extension case management and payment, shall be transferred from one county to the other when a beneficiary family moves to another county. (b) A temporary visit by either the beneficiary family or any member thereof shall not be considered to be a change of county residence until that visit has continued for more than a three-month period (see N.J.A.C. 10:69-3.28 and 3.30). 1. Whenever it is determined that a beneficiary family whose application has not been validated has changed or is planning to change its residence from one county to another, the CSSA of origin shall continue assistance while completing the validation, subject to the time limits set forth in N.J.A.C. 10:69-2.15, then transfer the case without delay to the receiving county. 2. Whenever it is determined that a beneficiary family whose application has been validated is planning to change its residence from one county to another, it shall be the responsibility of the CSSA directors of the two counties concerned to effect the transfer without interruption of Medicaid coverage. 3. The county of origin shall initiate and the receiving county shall, on request, immediately cooperate in accomplishing a full investigation of the circumstances surrounding the move. If the move is permanent, each county shall execute its respective responsibilities in accordance with this paragraph. i. The county of origin has the responsibility to: (1) Transfer, within five working days from the date it is notified of the actual move, a copy of pertinent case material to the receiving county. Such material shall include, at a minimum, a copy of the first application and the most recent PA-1J form; the most recent 105A and B forms; Social Security numbers or copies of SS-5 forms; all birth verifications; and, where ongoing recovery of overpayments is involved, the amounts and net balances; (2) Forward promptly to the receiving county copies of any other material mutually identified as necessary for case administration; and (3) Instruct the client to contact the receiving county immediately to arrange for filing an application to transfer the Medicaid coverage. ii. The receiving county has, except as noted in N.J.A.C. 10:69-7.6, the responsibility to: (1) Communicate with the client if case material is received prior to client contact and the client's new address is known. Such communication shall invite the client to make application to ensure receipt of uninterrupted Medicaid coverage; (2) Grant Medicaid coverage (provided application to transfer has been made) for the next month if initial case material has been received before the 10th of the month;
