WIC § 375 California Rules of Court 5.610 (Transfer-Out Hearing) California Rules of Court 5.612 (Transfer-In Hearing) All-County Letter (ACL) No. 00-52: The Process for County Certification to Full Utilization of CWS/CMS and the Availability of an Associated Funding Augmentation
Case Management Section: Assignment Tab Court Management Section: Acceptance of Transfer Report Overview
Under certain conditions, child welfare service cases may be transferred to other counties. The California Rules of court and the California Welfare and Institutions code (WIC) provide guidelines for Intercounty Transfers (ICTs). This statewide ICT Protocol, approved by the County Welfare Directors Association (CWDA), provides guidelines regarding:
The transferring of cases between counties CWS/CMS assignment protocol Required CWS/CMS entries prior to transferring a case
Casework practices/considerations
This protocol is to assist all California Counties with the timely and structured processing of Intercounty transfer (ICTs) of juvenile dependency cases. The need for such a protocol is necessitated to ensure that the needs of children and families are met and that services and funding are not interrupted. < Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Determination of Residency Under WIC § 17.1, unless otherwise provided under the provisions of this code, to the extent not in conflict with federal law, the residence of a minor person shall be determined by the following rules: The residence of the parent with whom a child maintains his or her place of abode or the residence of any individual who has been appointed legal guardian.
The residence of a child is determined by the residence of the person who has custody. "Custody" means the legal right to custody of the child unless that right is held jointly by two or more persons, in which case "custody" means the physical custody of the child by one of the persons sharing the right to custody. The residence of a foundling shall be deemed to be that of the county in which the child is found.
If the residence of the child is not determined under WIC § 17.1 (a), (b), (c) or (e), the county in which the child is living shall be deemed the county of residence, if and when the child has had a physical presence in the county for one year.
If the child has been declared permanently free from the custody and control of his or her parents, his or her residence is the county in which the court issuing the order is situated.
If the child’s situation falls within WIC § 17.1(d), the county where the child has physically resided for one year becomes the county of residence, provided the other subsections in WIC § 17.1(d) do not apply. However, certain casework practices should also be considered. The residence of each child in a dependency case is established to assure that the child is being served in the appropriate jurisdiction. The residence of the child is the residence of the person who has the legal right to physical custody of the child. Residency of a parent/legal guardian may be determined by at least one of the following in rank order:
A signed declaration of residency and intent to remain in the current county.
The County in which the parent receives public assistance, if the parent receives public assistance and a signed declaration is not available.
Social worker home visit to verify residence.
When a social worker learns that a parent has moved out of the county, that social worker is responsible for verifying residency before submitting to his/her court a recommendation to transfer the case. Welfare & Institutions Code (WIC) § 375 and Rule of Court 1425 (a), (b) and (c) establish the legal basis and residency guidelines for intercounty transfers.
Nonadjacent Counties
If the county to which the case is to be transferred is nonadjacent to Santa Clara County, the social worker may contact that county’s child welfare office and explain the situation relevant to the transfer. The worker requests the receiving agency to conduct a verification of the parent’s residency. If the receiving agency does not have the resources to do the verification, the social worker from the sending county must verify the parent’s residence in the other county.
For counties adjacent to Santa Clara, it is the responsibility of the sending county’s social worker to verify a parent’s residence by visiting the home and determining the parent’s intent to permanently reside in the new county.
A parent's temporary residence in a county for incarceration, drug treatment, residential mental health services, hospitalization, homeless shelter, or similar activity is NOT considered a change of residence for the purposes of establishing child welfare services residency.
< Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Cases Which Should Not Be Transferred The following only applies to post-dispositional hearings. It does not apply when a jurisdictional hearing is completed, and the case is transferred to the county of residence for the disposition. Primary concerns are whether the transfer is in the child’s best interest and if the level of services the child and family needs can be met, if the case is transferred to another county. Post-dispositional cases are not to be recommended for transfer if:
A Status Review Hearing is scheduled within 90 days from the date the transfer is requested.
A WIC § 366.26 or Family Code 7820 hearing has been scheduled. The appeal of a WIC § 366.26 or Family Code 7829 hearing is pending.
There are overdue mandatory contacts. Permanency Planning Hearing has been held.
Following the Permanency Planning Hearing, responsibility for service is generally maintained by the county that held that hearing. It is generally inappropriate to tranfer dependency based upon the discovery that one of both parents have taken up residence in a new county, unless the parents are named in the child's current case plan for the purpose of evaluating and implementing reunification services or other parent/child services that are clearly in the child's bet interest. The child has been declared free from parental care and control. Applicable Title IV-E findings have not been made within the past 12 months.
The child's foster care case is county-only paid.
This includes cases where a "patch" is paid above the group home RCL payments.
There may be extraordinary situations which may make this an option. Such a decision is made by the mutual agreement of both the director/director's designee level of the sending county and the receiving county. < Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Referrals Received on ICT The guiding principle in the resolution of problems between jurisdictions regarding a referral on an ICT is that the safety of the child is first and foremost. This means that every child who is referred for allegations of child abuse, neglect, and/or exploitation is seen within the required response times, regardless of where and with whom the child is living. In addition, the Social Services Agency where the child is located or found is responsible for Emergency Response in-person investigations on all referrals that are assessed as requiring an immediate response. < Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Who Determines if a Case Should Be Transferred In Santa Clara County, the social worker assigned to the case makes the determination that the case meets the criteria for transfer to another county. The determination is made after the social worker verifies:
That a parent has moved out of Santa Clara County and has established residency in another county and That the case does not fall under any of the circumstances under which a transfer is not recommended.
The social work supervisor makes the transfer assignment in CWS/CMS.
< Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Case Transfer Considerations
It is recommended that counties observe the following casework practices when considering the transfer of a case to another county:
Sending counties must:
Alert receiving counties about extremely difficult cases or special needs of the child or family.
Inform caregivers and/or parents that service levels and/or foster care rates may change.
Primary concerns are whether the transfer is in the child’s best interest and if the level of services the child and family needs can be met, if the case is transferred to another county. Transfer should not be requested when the tranfer will jeopardize services to either the parent or the child. In the court report in which the transfer is requested:
Details applicable provision of services so that the service history can be obtained from the documents sent to the receiving county.
If the case is in Permanency Planning, document the reasons for the Permanent Plan and the reasons why the Permanent Plan is still appropriate or if the PP needs to be reviewed. In general, PP cases are not transferred unless there is a compelling "best interest" reason.
Attached the current case plan to the court report. Prior to transfer, the costs for services being provided to a child and family should be discussed between counties so that responsibility for the ongoing costs is clarified.
Transferring the case does not automatically mean moving the child. When a case transfers, the parent and minor do not have to reside in the same county. It is not necessary to move the child’s placement to the receiving county.
The transfer must be in the child’s best interest and transfers of youth in group homes or institutions receiving Permanency Planning (PP) services should be carefully considered. Though PP cases are not generally transferred, if a child has resided in long-term care in the other county where the placement has been stable and there has been infrequent or no contact with the parents, the transfer may be in the child’s best interest.
When the child resides in a relative or non-relative extended family member home and a reassessment is due within 60 days from the date of the planned transfer request, it is recommended that the transferring county complete the reassessment prior to giving primary assignment to the receiving county. When there is a change of custody order to the other parent post-dispositional hearing, a transfer-out should not be recommended at the same time as the change of custody order.
Three months of supervision should be a minimum guideline prior to the request for transfer of jurisdiction. If the change of custody order is made at the Dispositional Hearing, then the recommendation to transfer can be made at the same time. < Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Relative Home Approvals in Transfer Cases The following policies have been adopted under the Bay Area Regional Relative/NREFM Approvals Protocol in Transfer Cases: Full and complete relative home approval must be in place before a case can be transferred to another county. The exception is in situations when there is an identified sensitive case issue. Counties may request that another county conduct a home approval under the existing Sensitive Case Protocol.
Emergency assessments and temporary placement assessments will not suffice for transferred cases. Receiving counties will provide sending counties an opportunity to correct any problem(s) with home approvals before the transfer-in hearing.
The sending county must correct the problem and complete the approval within 30 days of being notified that a problem exists.
Reassessments due 60 days or less at the time of transfer-out must be completed by the sending county prior to the transfer of the case to the receiving county.
Pending the implementation of authority for the transfer of subsequent arrest notification to the county where a case has been transferred, receiving counties must repeat LiveScan fingerprinting on all adult household members when a case is transferred. < Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Transfer-out Cases from DI When a child is taken into temporary custody in Santa Clara County and
It is found that the child’s legal residence is in a county other than Santa Clara and That county is not a participant in the CWDA Bay Area Region Protocol and
It is necessary to file a WIC 300 petition then, the petition must be filed in Santa Clara County. After the petition is sustained, the case may be transferred to the county of which the child is a legal resident for disposition. When the DI social worker learns that a child is a resident of another county, the worker:
Verifies the parent's new residence before submitting a recommendation for the case to be transferred out.
Reviews circumstances under which a case should not be transferred out.
Reviews case transfer considerations.
Informs the parents, child and substitute care provider of the intention to recommend that the case be transferred out-of-county.
Advises clerical to make sure the Noticing includes a recommendation to transfer out.
Prepares the Initial Petition (Detention) Hearing Report.
Arranges services in the other county, as possible.
Continues the dependency investigation to gather information for the Jurisdictional Report.
Prepares the Jurisdictional Report.
As part of the information in the report, the following should be included:
A summary of the child’s present placement situation. A summary of the whereabouts and situation of the child’s parents or guardians. Citation of evidence regarding the parents’ intent to remain in the other county. Attach any letter verifying residency from the receiving county. Recommend that the Court:
Accept jurisdiction.
Use the first four recommendations of REC 10. Transfer out the case.
Use the JV-550 form. Use REC 960 for the Transfer Out recommendations. Keep Jurisdictional Orders separate from the Transfer Out orders. Continues providing services to the family, until it is confirmed that the receiving county has formally accepted the case and that the case has been assigned to a social worker in the receiving county. Immediately notify Foster Care Eligibility (by calling the Foster Care Eligibility Line at 408-271-4700) and end the placement by submitting an SCZ17 to the Placement Tracking Team (PTT). After processing the SCZ17, PTT will generate the SOC158A to complete. Complete and submit the SOC 158A with a copy of the court minute order to PPT in order for Foster Care Eligibility to initiate the Intercounty Case Transfer. < Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Transfer-out Cases from Service Bureaus After the Continuing social worker learns that parents have established residence in another county, the worker:
Reviews circumstances under which a case should not be transferred out. Reviews case transfer considerations.
Explains the transfer-out process to the parent and informs the parent that the level and type of services that they will receive may change and will be based on the receiving county’s policies and procedures. Informs the caregivers and child of the transfer out process.
Informs service providers being paid by the sending county of the plan to transfer the case and explains that reimbursement policies may be different in the receiving county.
Continue to pay for previously approved services for 30 days after the order of transfer is filed in the receiving county.
Coordinates the transfer of all sibling dependents (if possible) at the same time. Prepares the Notice for Dependency Review (SC1423) and marks the recommendation on the form to Transfer Out of County, in addition to marking any other items for noticing. Writes the Status Review Hearing Report or prepares an Ex parte Application & Order in which the recommendation is made to transfer out the case. As part of the information in the report or application, the following should be included:
A summary of the child’s present placement situation.
A summary of the whereabouts and situation of the child’s parent or guardian.
Citation of evidence regarding the parent's intent to remain in the other county. Attach any letter verifying residency from the receiving county. An Ex Parte Application is generally not made, if the Status Review Hearing is within 90 days. Recommends that the Court:
Transfer out the case. Use the JV-550. Keep Status Review Orders separate from the Transfer Out orders, if writing a Status Review Hearing report. Use REC 960 for the Transfer Out recommendations. Continues providing services to the family, until it is confirmed that the receiving county has formally accepted the case and that the case has been assigned to a social worker in the receiving county. Immediately notify Foster Care Eligibility and end the placement by submitting an SCZ17 to the Placement Tracking Team (PTT). Complete and submit the SOC 158A with a copy of the court minute order to PPT in order for Foster Care Eligibility to initiate the Intercounty Case Transfer. < Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page JV-550 Form The JV-550 is a two-page Judicial Council form that can be filled out online. < Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Required CWS/CMS Documentation Documentation in CWS/CMS for Transfer-Out cases must be current and meet the full utilization mandates for required field entries as instructed in All County Letter (ACL) 00-52.
The following CWS/CMS notebooks must be current before the sending county transfers the case:
When the sending county verifies the eligibility closure date, it is to end date any ongoing requests, using the appropriate eligibility end date. Court Management
The sending county is to change any 12/31/99 hearing date to the actual hearing date. If the child is placed in a relative or NREFM home, there must be a current full approval assessment or reassessment (if reassessment is due within 60 days of transfer date) of the relative or NREFM home.
< Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page How to Transfer Cases in CWS/CMS to Other Counties
The Transfer Assignment command is used to transfer a primary or secondary assignment for a case or referral to another caseload in another county. This enables a user to transfer the assignment without entering Client Services and retrieving the case or referral from the database. To transfer an assignment:
Go into the CWS/CMS application.
Click the Caseload file drawer.
Use the Action drop-down menu and select Transfer Assignment.
The Transfer Assignment dialog box will open. In the From CWS Caseload frame:
Select the option button for the type of assignment to be made.
Select the Unit and Caseload from which the assignment will be transferred. In the To CWS Caseload frame, use the drop-down lists to show where the assignment will be transferred to, indicating:
Caseload Select the cases and/or referrals to be transferred in the Caseload Summary grid.
The Caseload Summary grid in the To CWS Caseload frame will populate the cases and/or referrals to be transferred. Click the OK button.
The transfer will take affect as part of the Save To Database you will do at the end of this module.
< Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Steps After the Transfer-Out Hearing After the Court orders the Transfer Out, the legal file is sent by the court clerk to the court clerk of the receiving county. After receiving the minute order indicating that the Court has ordered that the case be transferred out, the social worker or social work supervisor from the sending county:
Transfers primary assignment to the receiving county’s ICT In-box in CWS/CMS, after verifying that a social worker in the receiving county has been assigned the case.If the sending county social worker receives no word within 14 days of transfer, the sending county social worker contacts the receiving county’s court clerk to verify that the case was received and filed.
On receipt and filing of a certified copy of a transfer order (JV550), the receiving court must take jurisdiction of the case. The receiving court may not reject the case. [Rule of Court 1425 (a)]
The sending county may give secondary assignment to its county’s staff, as needed.
As soon as the need is completed, secondary assignment is ended on CWS/CMS. When the child resides in a relative or non-relative extended family member home and a reassessment is due within 60 days from the date of the planned transfer request, it is recommended that the transferring county complete the reassessment prior to giving primary assignment to the receiving county. Alerts the receiving county about extremely difficult or special needs cases.
End dates the Juvenile Court # when primary assignment is given.
If the sending county has additional court related documents to complete in its county, the social worker will leave the Juvenile Court # open and request primary assignment back to end the Juvenile Court # later. End dates the Associated Attorney Relationships in the Client Notebook in CWS/CMS.
Holds the case file for up to three weeks after receiving county social worker is given primary assignment, to see if the receiving county social worker needs copies of documents from the sending county social worker’s case file that were not in the legal file.
The receiving county may request from the sending county hard copies of case information not included in the CWS/CMS electronic file. Such requests shall be fulfilled in a timely manner.
Submits a Placement/Address Change form (SCZ17)- Scenario F, Item 21, to the Placement Tracking Team (PTT). < Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Criteria for Judicial Responsibility Upon the receipt of the sending court’s order of transfer and the filing of the transfer order with the clerk of the receiving court, the WIC and Rules of Court identify that case as within the jurisdiction of the receiving county.
A county transferring a case to another county’s jurisdiction retains all case management and service provision responsibility, until it has verified the case has been received and filed by the court clerk of the receiving county.
Current practice in some counties indicates various factors influence the acceptance of jurisdiction and provision of services for cases being transferred between counties. These factors may lead to a “lag time” that impacts the receipt of services by client families. CWS/CMS allows the electronic transfer of case information from one county to another. This can assist counties in providing a much higher level of service continuity as well as much better tracking of case responsibility.
< Return to OPP Table of Contents | ^ Back to Top of Page Transfer-In Cases When a parent who is party to a dependency matter in another county moves to Santa Clara County and establishes residence, the dependency case may be transferred to Santa Clara County. The sending county recommends the transfer through the juvenile court, and, when the transfer-out is ordered, the legal file is sent to the Santa Clara County juvenile court clerk’s office, which begins the transfer-in process.

When the residence cannot be verified.
When the case falls under one of the circumstances under which it should not have been transferred out and the transfer was not in the child’s best interest.
When this determination is made, the social worker:
Prepares the Transfer-In Hearing Report.
Document the findings that led you to the conclusion that the parent does not reside in Santa Clara County, or
