Non-Financial Agreement between Employment and Human Services, as a member of the Bay
Area Cash Assistance Program for Individuals (CAPI) Consortium, and the County of San
Mateo.
BACKGROUND:
A multi-county consortium including Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Merced, Monterey, San Mateo, Santa Cruz,
Solano, Sonoma, and Stanislaus counties administers the Cash Assistance Program for Individuals (CAPI) to
provide cash assistance to aged, blind, and disabled legal immigrants who are not eligible for Social Security
Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) benefits solely due to their immigrant status,
The County of San Mateo is the lead County for the Bay Area CAPI Consortium (Consortium). The Consortium
counties will accept the initial CAPI application from clients and forward the application to San Mateo County for
processing, whereupon San Mateo County will determine client eligibility. San Mateo County will process CAPI
payments to eligible immigrants.
The State of California reimburses San Mateo County for CAPI payments made to eligible individuals and in the
event of an impasse in the State of California budget, during which time the State cannot make advance
payment of CAPI funds, San Mateo County will issue CAPI payments to eligible recipients, subject to available
funding. If San Mateo County issues payments utilizing San Mateo County funds to EHSD clients, Contra
Costa County (CCC) Employment and Human Services (EHSD) as a Consortium member will reimburse San
Mateo County for funds expended in support of Contra Costa County EHSD CAPI clients.
