When the worker has information indicating a household has moved to a new county and verification has not been provided, the worker from the county the household is moving from must send Notice F419 – Request for Verification requesting any verification needed, including residency and new shelter costs. The household has 10 days from the mailing date of the F419 to provide the verification.

 

If the household fails to provide the verifications the worker must send the F401. If it is prior to advance notice deadline the F401 must be sent and the case will close at the end of the month. If it is after advance notice deadline the F401 cannot be sent until the first working day of the following month. Benefits are authorized using the income from the previous month only. Shelter costs are not allowed.

Prior to transferring the case the worker must complete the following in order. However, the sending and receiving county must take into consideration what is in the best interest of the household.

  1. Change the address.
  2. Send the F419 requesting any verification needed, including residency and new shelter costs allowing the household 10 days to provide the verification.
  3. Authorize benefits.
  4. Work any IEVS for combination cases when verification has been received or case alerts.
  5. Complete any outstanding claims.
  6. Ensure that any cash payments on claims received by the worker are submitted to Finance.
  7. Review the file to ensure the mandatory verifications are included.
  8. Update narrative.
  9. Send notice F817 – Notice to Client Case File Transfer.
  10. Transfer the case in the TECS system using the CARC screen.
  11. Complete SFN 700 – Case Transfer Log.

Example:

Worker received mail returned with a new forwarding address outside of their county on February 25.  The worker sends the F419 requesting residency and new shelter costs on February 26 allowing the household 10 days to provide the information.  March benefits remain authorized through.  On March 5 the household provides the requested verifications.  The new shelter costs are allowed when processing April benefits.
