1999 Chaptered Legislation
This ACIN summarizes legislation involving the SSI/SSP program, IHSS, and the CAPI program.
Effective July 22, 1999, the state CAPI program was extended indefinitely. In addition, AB 1111 created time limited CAPI eligibility for certain immigrants. The time limited eligibility for these immigrants ends September 30, 2000. Immigrants who are the victims of sponsor abuse are exempt from sponsor deeming rules.
Senate Bill 708 amended the sponsor deeming period to five years (from three years) for the new time limited population of immigrants and specifies that the five year period begins from the date of the affidavit of support or the date the immigrant arrives in the U.S., whichever is later. This legislation is also effective July 22, 1999.
