NOTE: The program's intent is to provide assistance for elderly, blind, or disabled immigrants who are among the most

vulnerable in the State's population. Given the impairments many applicants may have, staff is to assist individuals in establishing their eligibility for CAPI.

EXAMPLE: To document age, a birth or baptismal certificate should be reviewed. However, if neither is available, then a United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) document can be used. Also, if the person has ever received SSI or Title II Social Security based on age or they currently receive Medi-Cal based on age, no additional verification is needed.

What other documentation is needed to determine eligibility?

? Social Security Number ? Identification ? Immigration status ? Sponsorship

Social Security Number

Applicants must have or apply for a Social Security Number as a condition of aid for CAPI.

NOTE: VAWA applicants may be aided pending receipt of a Social Security number.

Identification

Immigration Status

Applicants are required to establish their immigration status by providing original USCIS documentation.

Sponsorship Applicants must produce proof of their sponsorship and their sponsor(s)'s financial status, as required. If needed, the applicant must cooperate with his/her Eligibility Worker (EW) to obtain this information from USCIS.
