In CalWIN, on the "Collect CHDP/Social Service Request Detail" screen, the<br />

a referral to CHDP, enter "Y" in all three boxes, update the Effective Begin Date,<br />

and print the referral from the Client Correspondence subsystem. Forward the<br />

paper referral to C00X.<br />

X. CAPI Program<br />

The Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) is a state funded program<br />

for aged or disabled persons who are ineligible for SSI due to immigration<br />

status.<br />

The basic eligibility rules for CAPI are:<br />

� Meet all SSI/SSP eligibility criteria except for immigration status.<br />

� Be aged, blind, or disabled<br />

� Be a resident <strong>of</strong> California<br />

� Have resources below the allowable limits <strong>of</strong> $2000 for an individual<br />

or $3000 for a couple<br />

� Having a sponsor who is deceased or disabled<br />

� Have income less than the CAPI standards (the monthly CAPI grant)<br />

� Submit pro<strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong> ineligibility for SSI/SSP from the Social Security<br />

Administration.<br />

The ADA coordinator does outreach to those persons who have long term<br />

medical disabilities. A social work referral is done by the ADA coordinator<br />

for those interested in applying for SSI. Persons denied SSI solely due to<br />

immigration status are referred to the CAPI program.<br />

XI. MINT Program<br />

MINT is a program that aids the newborns <strong>of</strong> incarcerated mothers. It applies<br />

only to women who are incarcerated in a federal facility.<br />

The MINT Coordinator will contact C424 to arrange an appointment for the<br />

applicant. C424 does the Intake interview.<br />

The applicant must submit a letter from the MINT Coordinator that states when<br />

the applicant is expected to be released from the MINT program. The letter<br />

will also state that their shelter cost is $5.00. The Intake worker will also ask<br />

where the mother and child will be going after their release from the MINT<br />

program. In some cases, the mother and child will relocate to another<br />

county or state. An ICT may be needed if the client is relocated to another<br />
