   4. Request the “MEDS Terminal Operator” (MTO) to generate an EW 12 MEDS on-line transaction via SCD 1296 to change the:
      1. Client’s address to the new address (if MEDS record still shows the clients old address), and/or
      2. Code on the Residence County field on MEDS to reflect the client’s current county of residence.

   5. Note: Changes made by the MTO via the EW 12 on-line transaction will be seen on the MEDS INQM screen the following day. The 14-digit County ID will not change for the current month.
