The federal benefit is easy. His SSI will continue without interruption. He needs a new bank account if there are no branches/ATMs for that bank near where he will live in Washington.
In Washington is you are on SSI you automatically get Medicaid. So as soon as you notify SSA they will notify the state.

no, welfare programs do not "transfer" from state to state. He will have to inform his caseworker in CA of his move, then go reapply in washington
