Golden State Grant Program for SSI/SSP and CAPI Recipients

Recent California legislation authorized the Golden State Grant (GSG), a one-time payment of $600 to Supplemental Security Income (SSI)/State Supplementary Payment (SSP) and Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI) recipients to assist and provide relief from hardship due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The GSG will provide a one-time $600 payment to all eligible SSI/SSP and CAPI recipients. Due to guidance issued by the federal government, this payment will not be counted toward the SSI/SSP resource limit of $2,000 for an individual and $3,000 for a couple.

The GSG payments were automatically sent to recipients in Spring 2021. The program is set to end January 1, 2024.  If you have any questions call 1-866-312-3100
