ACIN I-85-06 – January 2007 COLA For CAPI (November 16, 2006)
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]

ACIN I-80-06 – Social Security COLA – Effective December 1, 2006 (November 9, 2006)
It’s that time of year again. Social Security will be going up (3.3%) December 2006, which is payable in January 2007. This ACIN walks the counties through the applicant and recipient budgeting under the quarterly reporting (and for food stamps, change reporting) systems. [Download]
ACL 06-51 – CalWORKs: Retroactive COLA Increase To MBSAC Levels (November 3, 2006)
Ok, a tad late, but here it is. The Monthly Basic Standards of Aid and Care (MBSAC) and Income in Kind levels have gone up … 4 months ago! (The Maximum Aid Payment, unfortunately, remains frozen through June 2007.) So, ALL eligibility determinations since July need to use these new numbers. That’s right: the county needs to go back (that’s right, an actual case search) and figure out if they improperly denied cases for excess income, and issue retroactive benefits, as appropriate.

ACIN I-79-06 – Requirement to Include Notice of Missed Interview in the Food Stamp Denial Cases (October 31, 2006)
A bit of a roundabout way of passing on info that Regs@LSNC has not seen before. Turns out when the county wants to deny a Food Stamps application for failure of the household to attend the application interview, it must send a notice stating that the household must schedule a new meeting. This letter reminds counties that the DENIAL is incorrect if they cannot document that they sent this notice, and will count as an error rate. Sounds like a defense to the denial, too, if the household doesn’t get the notice and reapplies after the 30 days … [Download]
