Benefits & Services Cash Assistance CAPI

Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI)

	CAPI is a 100 percent state-funded program designed to provide monthly cash benefits to aged, blind, or disabled non-citizens who are ineligible for SSI/SSP solely due to their immigration status. The Welfare Reform Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193) eliminated Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) eligibility for most non-citizens. As a result, most immigrants who were not receiving SSI/SSP in August 1996 are no longer eligible for SSI/SSP.

	To be eligible for CAPI you must:

Be ineligible for SSI/SSP solely due to immigration status,
Be 65 years old or older, blind, or disabled,
Be a resident of California,
Meet certain income and resource requirements, and
Be a non-citizen and meet the immigration status criteria (See Manual of Policies and Procedures (MPP) Section 49.020 “Immigration Status”)

	State regulations governing CAPI are found in Manual of Policies and Procedures, Division 49.

How CAPI Works

You can complete the CAPI application (SOC 814) by calling your local county social services office. You may also complete the application and deliver it to your local county social services office in person, by mail, fax, or email.
A county eligibility worker will be assigned to your case, and you may be asked to provide additional information including (but not limited to) immigration documents, a rental agreement, and bank statements.
You have the right to ask for extra help with completing your application or with any other matter related to your CAPI case. If you are not sure what kind of help is available, just ask your county eligibility worker.
How to end a guardianship | California Courts | Self Help Guide
A guardianship can also end when the guardian, the parents, or the child (if 12 or older) asks the judge to end the guardianship and the judge agrees. The judge considers:
If ending the guardianship is in the child's best interest
What the child wants (if they're 12 or older)
If a parent asks that the child live with them again, the judge will need proof that the parent has a stable place to live, has a source of income, and can provide a good home for the child. They'll also want proof the parent is "fit" or has been rehabilitated. This means that whatever situation the parent was in that made the guardianship necessary is no longer the case, and the parent is fit to take care of their child.
If you're a guardian and don't want the guardianship to end, but can no longer be a guardian, you can resign. Learn more

A guardian can resign by asking the judge to end the guardianship or let them resign and appoint someone else as guardian. But first, there must be a court hearing. And you must give notice of the hearing to all relatives who were notified of your appointment as guardian.
You must show the judge that it would be in the child's best interest for you to resign. If the judge agrees, they will appoint a guardian to replace you, called a successor guardian. If no one is available, the child will probably be made a dependent in juvenile court.
Get help from your court's Self-Help Center if you're in this situation and want to know more.
