Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants page 15-1 15. 15.1 Overview There is to be no interruption or overlap in payment of aid as the result of a recipient moving from one county to another to make his/her place of residence. Therefore, when a recipient moves from one county to another within the State of California, the responsibility for the determination of eligibility and the authorization of payments must be transferred from the sending county (the county currently paying aid) to the receiving county (the county to which the recipient moved). The sending county continues to pay aid during the Inter-County Transfer (ICT) period or until the end of the month in which aid is discontinued for cause, whichever is earlier. 15.2 Transfer Period The date the sending county informs the receiving county of the initiation of the ICT and sends the ICT packet is the beginning date of the transfer period. The transfer period lasts from this date until the last day of the following month. The following is an example: May 8 DATE May 18 ACTION Sending county receives notification of recipient s move. Sending County: Initiates ICT Notifies receiving county of ICT Sends documentation to receiving county Notifies recipient of ICT and sends discontinuance NOA. TRANSFER PERIOD Transfer period begins. Update # 09-03 Revised: 08/31/09
page 15-2 Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants DATE ACTION TRANSFER PERIOD May 28 Receiving County: Notifies sending county of receipt of ICT Contacts recipient. June 17 Receiving county notifies sending county of intention to assume case responsibility. June 30 Transfer period ends. July 1 Receiving county assumes case responsibility. When the last day of the month falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, the first business day following the weekend or holiday is considered the last day of the transfer period. By mutual agreement of the counties involved, the transfer of responsibility may occur at an earlier date. If problems arise, and the receiving county does not want to accept the transfer, the supervisors of each county must come to an agreement. The Program Coordinator may be consulted if the issue cannot be resolved. Example: A client received CAPI from Sacramento County on June 1. On June 14th the client comes into the General Assistance Bureau and reports that he/she moved here on June 5. If both counties agreed, Sacramento could discontinue June 30th and we could pick up aid effective July 1. 15.3 ICT Initiation and Notifications An ICT is initiated by the sending county after receiving notification of the recipient s move to a new county. This notification can be from the recipient or the receiving county. If this notification comes from any other source, the sending county must verify it with the recipient prior to initiating the ICT. Revised: 08/31/09 Update # 09-03

Notify the recipient of the results of the eligibility determination. Failure by the receiving county to perform any of the responsibilities listed above in the prescribed timeframes will have no affect on the transfer period or the transfer of case responsibility.

Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants page 15-5 15.4 Additional County Responsibilities During the Transfer Period When changes arise during the transfer period, county responsibilities may vary. If... Either county receives information that make the recipient ineligible, or eligible for a lower CAPI payment amount, Then... The county that receives the information must provide the information immediately to the other county. Some examples are: Changes in income or resources Changes in citizenship status Residence outside of California. Action is required regarding a discontinuance or change in eligibility that will affect CAPI payments during the transfer period, The effect of the change on the CAPI payment amount or eligibility will not take place until the first day the receiving county assumes responsibility for eligibility maintenance and payments, The sending county will take the required action and send necessary NOAs to client. The receiving county will make payment and send necessary NOAs to the client. Example: The recipient has a change in income effective March 27. There is insufficient time to provide a timely notice to the recipient to change the April 1st check. The transfer period ends April 30th and the receiving county assumes responsibility May 1st. Although the change in circumstances took place during the transfer period, the receiving county would be responsible for sending a timely notice to the recipient about the change in benefit amount, effective May 1st.
