(a) The county/municipal agency shall maintain an up-to-date record of all cases of recipients approved to receive assistance while out of the State. (b) There shall be a supervisory review of the status of these cases to assure that no payments are issued beyond the period for which approval has been given, unless and until an extension of continued assistance is approved by the DFD, and that payments are terminated when and if eligibility ceases. (c) Recipients who are receiving assistance out-of-State shall be afforded the same full advance notice, including information about their hearing rights, in accordance with present policy. A copy of any such notice shall be sent to any out-of-State agency with which there has been communication regarding the case.

WFNJ/TANF case records shall be transferred to the receiving county provided application has been made and the recipient remains eligible. The case records are transferred from the county of origin to the receiving county as outlined in (g) below.

(f) Post TANF support recipients and those WFNJ/TANF cases which receive only Medicaid or a Medicaid extension shall also be transferred to the new county of residence in the same manner as active WFNJ/TANF cases when the family moves from the county of origin. (g) The well-being of recipients shall not be adversely affected by a move from one county/municipality to another and their right to uninterrupted assistance shall not be prejudiced by any disagreement that arises between the county/municipality of origin and
