Transfer Period
[EAS 40-187]
Whichever county the recipient notifies of the move, must initiate the ICT within seven business days of receiving the notification. ICTs have a 30-day transfer period which begins the date that the eICT is initiated. The transfer period expires at the end of the month following the 30-day transfer period.
When the 30th day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday, the first business day following the weekend or holiday is considered the last day of the 30-day period.
Requesting an eICT
When the client is in Santa Clara County requesting aid and is still active in their old county (the Sending county), a “Request for ICT” must be initiated by Santa Clara County (the Receiving county). The Receiving county must initiate the ICT request within seven business days of the notification.
Sending an eICT
Once the Sending county has received an electronic “Request for ICT”, the Sending county will initiate the eICT within seven working days. The seven-day period starts with the date of receipt of the electronic “Request for ICT”.
eICT Disposition
A disposition notification will be sent to the Sending county indicating which programs were approved or denied by the Receiving county. The disposition is triggered when the Receiving county has authorized the Eligibility Determination.
Any deviations to extend or shorten the pick-up dates must be communicated and agreed upon by both the Sending and Receiving counties to ensure there is no break in aid to the client and to avoid overlapping benefits.
