Because the pass-through of the federal SSI COLA was reinstated effective January 1, 2007, the CAPI payment standards will also change at the same time. CAPI payments are based on the SSI/SSP payment standards, minus $10.00 for an individual and $20.00 for a couple. (The one exception is the Title XIX medical facility standard, which will not increase because there is no federal SSI COLA for this living arrangement.)
These changes also affect: In-kind Support and Maintenance, the allowances for Ineligible Children and Parent-to-child Deeming; the Sponsor’s Allocation in Alien Deeming, and the CAPI/SSI combo couple. Comes with a handy-dandy chart. [Download]
