1. 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
