Hello...
I have been getting SSI for 3 years now and I reside in new york and want to move to california...My disability is mental illness. I wanted to know if the SSI will transfer automatically to california...Should I inform SSA before I move or should I inform them after I move in to the place in california. What steps do I have to take if I gonna move out of state to california to insure my SSI continue? Also I get medicaid in new york, would I get Med-cal in california since I get SSI or do I need to apply separtely...Do I need to state why I am moving? Do I have the right to move to another state and still get my benefits?
Oh also I will be living on my own in california, right now I am living with some relatives...I don't know if that matters...

Thank You
