payment in an amount up to $1,108 in legal fees to attorneys or authorized representatives upon a successful
Social Security Income (SSI) Appeal for Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI)recipients for FY

FINANCIAL IMPACT:
No County funds. The California Department of Social Services (CDSS) shall reimburse the County 100% for
legal fees of attorneys or other authorized representatives during the SSI appeal process up to $1,108 for each
successful appeal.
BACKGROUND:
The CAPI/SSI Program is a mandate from the State to provide advocacy services to targeted CAPI recipients to
assist them in the SSI application process. In the case of a denial, and any subsequent appeals, the State allows
counties to employ the services of attorneys or other authorized representative s in the appeals process.
SB 1104 requires that the California Department of Social Services (CDSS)reimburse counties for legal fees
incurred by the attorneys or other authorized representatives during the appeal phase of the Social Security
Income (SSI) application process for CAPI recipients. Upon a successful appeal and when the SSI is granted,
the State allows the county to pay a maximum of$1,108 in legal fees to the attorneys or authorized
representative for every successful appeal.
The fees paid to the attorneys or authorized representatives for each case cannot exceed twice the difference
between the maximum monthly individual CAPI payment and the maximum monthly State Supplemental
Payment(SSP). The maximum amount is $1,108 (twice the difference of$554).
100% of the payment made to attorneys or representatives in CAPI appeal cases is reimbursable to the County
by the State.

BAC:'KCROI7ND:
Patrick Harrington, Ph.D. was selected through RFI #208 in April 2004 to serve as Data Specialist for the
Children and Family Services (CFS) Bureau of Employment and Human Services (EHSD). CFS is
implementing the statewide plan for Child Welfare (CW) Redesign, the goal of which is to enhance current
service delivery for children and identify "best practices" for families and children in California. The plan
includes activities and program that increases the focus on prevention and early intervention, a new
intake/differential response process and engaging the community as partners in child welfare.
Mr. Harrington was brought in on a part-time basis to manage data collection and provide data analysis and
evaluation to document performance outcomes for the county's CW Redesign activities. However, his
responsibilities and projects have expanded tremendously that it is now necessary for him to work on a full-time
basis (40 hrs/week). He now takes an active role representing the county in state CW Redesign meetings and
conference calls, System of Care grant and Family2Family issues, as well as other regional, state and national
conferences. In addition, Mr. Harrington is now responsible for the development, design and reporting of two
new CFS data systems: 1) Team Decisions Making database and, 2) the in-house Differential Response
database. His Clinical Psychology background and previous work in mental health have also been beneficial to
CFS in our collaborative work with Mental Health.
This Board Order will allow EHSD to amend his contract to increase his hourly rate and his services to full-
time.
