CAPI Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants

Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) provides cash assistance to certain aged, blind, and disabled legal non-citizens ineligible for Supplemental Social Security Income/State Supplemental Payment (SSI/SSP) due to their immigration status. CAPI participants may be eligible for Medi-Cal, In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS), and/or Food Stamps benefits. CAPI applications may be filed at any DPSS General Relief office. Homebound applicants can receive information and application by calling the Central HELP Line at (877) 481-1044.
