El Programa de Asistencia en Efectivo para Inmigrantes ofrece apoyo financiero, cada mes, a los indocumentados de la tercera edad. Conocido como CAPI, su ayuda se basa totalmente en los fondos estatales. Quienes sean elegidos podrán, además, calificar para otros beneficios.For example, those who obtain these benefits will have the option to acquire health insurance through Medi-Cal, Cal Fresh food assistance, and IHSS. What are the fundamental eligibility requirements?
If you wish to be eligible for the CAPI program, you must take the following requirements into account. First, it is essential that you are a resident of the state of California. Then, you must be over 65 years old, blind, or disabled.
Meanwhile, it is essential that you do not have legal status in the United States. You also must not meet the criteria of the current immigration status for SSI/SSP as of 08/21/96.
Other key requirements to be eligible
No debes ser elegible para SSI/SSP únicamente debido a tu situación migratoria. Esto quiere decir que debes solicitar SSI/SSP y presentar pruebas de tu inelegibilidad de la Administración del Seguro Social.
Meanwhile, it is essential that your income is below the allowed limits of 2,000.00 USD for an individual or 3,000.00 USD for a couple. Finally, you must have income below the CAPI payment standards. If you qualify, your CAPI payment will depend on your marital status, living arrangement, and income.
If you become an American citizen while waiting to see if you are eligible or not for SSI/SSP from the SSA, you will be able to qualify for the benefits of CAPI. Of course, if you meet the rest of the requirements indicated above.
On the other hand, if you are under 65 years old, you may be eligible for CAPI if you meet the disability criteria. Remember this: to apply for CAPI you must verify your age, identity, non-legal status in the country, SSI ineligibility, or pending SSI application status.
