Homeland Security investigating California's Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants

  • On May 12, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security initiated a probe into California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants, concentrating on records from Los Angeles County to assess whether unauthorized immigrants received Supplemental Security Income benefits.
  • The probe follows a presidential memorandum aimed at stopping payments to individuals ineligible for Social Security benefits due to immigration status.
  • CAPI provides monthly state-funded cash benefits, up to $1,206.94, to noncitizen elderly, blind, or disabled residents who cannot access federal Supplemental Security Income.
  • The subpoena seeks records from January 2021 onward that include applicants’ full names, dates of birth, copies of applications, details about their immigration classification, and documentation showing they do not qualify for Social Security Income benefits.
  • This investigation intends to ensure compliance with federal law and prevent unauthorized use of taxpayer funds, signaling ongoing enforcement actions in similar programs.
