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.
