Other ICT Responsibilities

Redeterminations

To prevent expiration of the RD period, the receiving county will complete the RD when a recipient has moved during either of the final two months of the RD period. The sending county may complete the RD, if both the sending and receiving county mutually agree it is in the recipient’s best interest. The RD must be completed in a timely manner to adhere to the ICT timeframes and avoid any delay in benefits or break in aid. AUs who fail to complete the RD timely shall be evaluated for and granted good cause if applicable.

Note: The CalWORKs RD must be done in the same month as the CalFresh recertification. The CalWORKs RD period may be shortened as needed.

SAR 7

The receiving county is responsible for obtaining a completed semi-annual report (SAR 7) when a recipient has moved in either of the last two months of the semi-annual period. The sending county may process the SAR 7 if both the sending county and receiving county mutually agree it is in the best interest of the recipient to do so. The SAR 7 must be completed in a timely manner to adhere to the ICT timeframes and avoid any delay in benefits or break in aid.

AUs who fail to submit the SAR 7 timely shall be evaluated for and granted good cause if applicable. Refer to Criteria for Determining Good Cause [EAS 40-181.23] for more information.

Homeless Assistance

Refer to the Inter-County Transfer (ICT) section of Homeless Assistance Payment Information.

Payment Adjustment

[EAS 40-190.5]

The Receiving County must continue to make overpayment adjustments for overpayments that occurred in the Sending County. Overpayments adjustments that have occurred within the existing county of residence will have precedence over those which occurred in other counties.

Refer to Overpayment Definitions/Forms for more information.

Employment Services

The process of simultaneously transferring both the cash assistance and Welfare-to-Work components of a CalWORKs case during the ICT process is critical in assisting recipients to make the most effective use of their time on aid and effective employment-related services.

Use the following guidelines to process changes which affect Employment Services during the ICT period:

If... Then the EW will...
The ICT is canceled for any reason,
  • Contact Employment Services informing them that the ICT has been canceled and request reinstatement of the recipient’s WTW services.
The client has been sanctioned by the sending county, and the client indicates they want the sanction lifted/cured,
  • Contact Employment Services at 793-1200 to schedule the client for an orientation appointment. The recipient’s name, SSN and case number must be provided.
  • DO NOT PAY CalWORKs for this individual until notification is received from Employment Services that the client has cooperated. CalWORKs may be authorized for the remaining AU members if otherwise eligible.
