The Supplemental Security Income Medi-Cal Advocacy Program (SSIMAP) provides physically and mentally disabled General Relief (GR) participants with assistance through the SSI application process. The Program focuses on obtaining an early SSI approval for GR participants who appear to meet SSI eligibility criteria. GR participants who are potentially SSI eligible are identified by medical and mental health professionals and referred for SSI advocacy. SSI Advocates are available on-site in all GR district offices and CalWORKs districts with GR cases.
