CW 40-125.5 - Applicant
Moves out of the County
When an applicant has applied in one county but
moves to another county before eligibility has been
established, which county is responsible?
The first county must determine current eligibility. If
eligibility exists, the first county must authorize aid. An
inter-county transfer (ICT) is then initiated with the county
in which the participant is making his/her home.
See Operations Section 23-110 Inter-County Transfer
Outgoing.
Before the first county can establish eligibility, the
applicant moves to a new county and is now
requesting Homeless Assistance (HA). Which county
is responsible?
The first county must determine current eligibility. If
eligibility exists, the first county must authorize aid (same
as above) and the second county will issue HA benefits.
The beginning date of aid is the date of the application in
the first county.
See CW 44-211.5 Homeless Assistance (HA) –General
for more information.
CW 40-125.9 – Request
for Restoration of Aid
What is a restoration of aid?
Restoration of aid is when a former participant who was a
recipient of the same category of aid in the same county
reapplies for aid. Aid is considered restored only if his/her
grant has been discontinued for 12 months or less at the
time of the current application.
