About this site

Benefits Transfer answers one question in plain language: "I'm moving from one US state to another — what happens to my Medicaid, SNAP, WIC, unemployment, or TANF?" The rules are federal-state hybrids, the agencies are fragmented across 51 jurisdictions, and the official answers are scattered across dozens of sites written for caseworkers rather than the people moving. We put the whole picture in one place.

This is an independent publication by Billy Reiner Inc.. It is not affiliated with any government agency, and it never collects applications, leads, or personal data — every page routes you to the official agency to act.
