ACIN I-23-09: CAPI Payment Standards Effective May 1, 2009 (3/26/09)

This has no affect on 1) presumed maximum value of in-kind support and maintenance; 2) the allowance for ineligible children in deeming situations; 3) the sponsor’s allocation in alien deeming situations; or 4) the allowance for parent(s) in parent-to-child deeming situations. Reminds counties of the policy when one spouse is CAPI and one SSI, and to notify clients. [Download]
