ACIN I-01-10: CAPI Sponsor’s Statement Of Facts Form SOC 860 (5/25/10)
CAPI folks provide income and resource information on the Statement of Facts form (SOC 814) for new applicants, and on the SOC 804 at redetermination. However, the SOC 814 does not contain fields for the sponsor and the sponsor’s spouse’s information. CDSS came out with a “new” (since 12/09!) CAPI Sponsor’s Statement of Facts form (SOC 860) form, attached to this ACIN.
Counties are to begin using the SOC 860 immediately to determine initial or continuing eligibility. When there are multiple sponsors, a separate form should be provided for each sponsor. [Download]

This letter details several changes to the CMSP eligibility manual that went into effect 4/1/10:

• Removes GA/ GR from the same category as other public assistance programs- now those who receive GA/ GR are not excluded from the budget unit.
• Makes failure to cooperate with SSA a reason for denial or discontinuance. This denial is rescinded if an appeal is made to SSA within 30 days.
• Social Security overpayment reductions will be excluded in income/ share of cost calculations.
The letter includes the updated manual sections. [Download]
