Inter County Transfers
An Inter County Transfer (ICT) is the transfer of Medi-Cal (MC) benefits from one county to another to ensure no interruption or overlap of MC benefits when a client permanently moves from one county to another within California. The client must not be required to complete a new application when moving active MC benefits between counties in California. MC cases must remain active throughout the ICT period with no interruption in benefits. The Receiving County must make every effort to contact the Sending County, and not the client, for needed information/verification.
For the purpose of ICT counties are described as either the sending or receiving county, as follows:
- Sending County
- The county where the client moved from (former county of residence)
- Receiving County
- The county where the client moved to (new county of residence)
Important: If a client reports an Out of State address, the EW must discontinue the case and send an adequate Notice of Action, no ICT is required. If a client is temporarily residing in another county or State, an eICT must NOT be initiated.
