State Department, be paid by the County Department if the
estate of the deceased is insufficient to pay the same and the
persons legally responsible for the support of the deceased
are unable to pay the same. The cost of any such payments
shall be charged two-thirds to State funds and one-third to
local funds.
18. Removal to Another County. Any applicant who has
moved into the county in which he applies within one year
prior to application, shall be deemed, for all purposes of this
Article, a resident of the county in which he last had one

residence from one county to another without the written
consent of the County Departments of both counties, which
consent shall not transfer liability for his assistance to the
county into which he shall so remove.
