It is part of the US? Is there any state in Norway that has similar benefits? (Love that when discussing good, part_of_US!=US, when discussing bad, part_of_US==US, but whatever)

Nah, I don't think you did. Let me paste the conditions so it s easier for you. What do you think point 3 means?
-------
An individual may be eligible for CAPI if they meet all of the
1. Are a non-citizen and meet the immigration status criteria in effect for SSI/SSP as of 8/21/96.
2. Are 65 or over, blind or disabled.
3. Are ineligible for SSI/SSP solely due to their immigration status. (This means they must either apply for SSI/SSP and have a notice of denial based on their immigration status alone, or submit other proof of ineligibility from the Social Security Administration.)
4. Must reside in California.
5. Their income must be less than the CAPI standards.
6. Their resources must be below the allowable limits of $2,000 for an individual or $3,000 for a couple.

- Eisenstein 3y agoYou skipped the first one. "meet the immigration status criteria in effect for SSI/SSP as of 8/21/96."
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoYou didn't read past the first line. I specifically pointed out item 3. > 3. Are ineligible for SSI/SSP solely due to their immigration status. (This means they must either apply for SSI/SSP and have a notice of denial based on their immigration status alone, or submit other proof of ineligibility from the Social Security Administration.)

- Eisenstein 3y ago1. SSI/SSP qualification is because there was a Federal law passed which disqualified immigrants who had previously qualified for benefits, and the California law didn't like that and grandfathered in the people who got disqualified 2. In order to qualify under that law as an immigrant you have to pass the test which I screenshotted and linked to above ("snippet") 3. Your #3 above is just saying 'we aren't going to give you benefits if you aren't old or disabled so unless you are rejected solely because you got disqualified under the 1996 change we won't give you the benefits you wouldn't have gotten previous to 1996 and don't deserve because you aren't old or disabled 4. Your sources don't mention this law; they are non-sequiturs and they make me think you are just pasting the top google results that come up
