Client Moves During ICT

[EAS 40-187]

When an AU moves to another county (the third county) during the ICT period, the Sending county begins the eICT process all over again. The address is updated and the Sending county will cancel the eICT request. The Sending county is responsible for initiating a new eICT and sending all necessary documents to the new county. Refer to Outgoing ICTs [EAS 40-188.1]. 

ExampleExampleClient comes to County "A" to apply for benefits. The client is still active in County "B". County "A" initiates an electronic “ICT Request”. County "B" receives the eICT request and sends the eICT to County "A". One week later, the client reports that they have moved to another county (County "C"). The case has not been activated in County "A". Both County "A" and County "B" update the clients new address. County "B" cancels the eICT request to County "A" and initiates a new eICT to County "C".

Note: In the event that the Receiving county has already completed the eICT process and the client has moved to another county, the Receiving county will now initiate an eICT to the other county.

eICT Cancellation Process

From time to time, the expected move does not occur or occurs in a county other than the one the client thought they were going to. When this occurs, the process is to “Cancel” the eICT send action. Only the Sending county has the ability to cancel the eICT send transaction. The Receiving county’s “Request for eICT” cannot be electronically canceled.

Discontinuance During ICT

[EAS 40-191]

The Sending county's responsibility ends when payment of aid is discontinued for a valid reason during the ICT period. The recipient would be responsible for reapplying for CalWORKs in the Receiving county.
