Client Resides in Another County

Informing

The applicant must be informed of:

  • The correct county where the application is to be processed, and
  • The time frames involved, should the applicant wish to complete the process here.

Note: The applicant should be given sufficient information to locate the appropriate office in the correct county.

Courtesy Application

When the applicant wishes to make the application in this county, the EW must take a courtesy application (date-stamped) and forward it to the correct county of residence.

  • This includes securing the application, SAWS 1, the Statement of Facts, SAWS 2, and any other pertinent information or verification.
  • The EW must also assist in determining initial and continuing eligibility as requested.

The county of responsibility must accept the application, determine eligibility and grant aid if eligibility is established.

When the applicant applies in this county and indicates they may move to another county, the application is processed in this county. When the client then moves to a new county the ICT procedures are followed.
