ACIN I-47-12: CAPI Clarification Of The Indigence Exception Rules (11/27/12)

A review of CAPI rules on sponsor deeming.  NOTE: These are NOT the same as the rules for CalFresh or CFAP.  Counties are told they can presume sponsor’s have more than 125% of poverty income and therefore are “available” for deeming, and the steps to take when an applicant states the sponsor’s whereabouts are unknown. This includes presuming that mail not returned as undeliverable means that the sponsor is ignoring the county and the county should then presume the person  is ineligible for the indigency exception.  [Download]
