DHCS issued this letter to provide guidance to counties regarding the transfer of L1 Aid Code cases (former LIHP cases) through the described workaround process. This workaround is necessary because SAWS does not yet support L1 aid code cases. Cases where a Medi-Cal beneficiary reports a change in county of residence do not require an eligibility review. Instead, the receiving county will assist the transferring beneficiary with enrolling in a new local plan (as needed).
