It is demanding a slew of records from Los Angeles County to determine if individuals in the United States illegally received payments stemming from the Social Security Administration, dating back to 2021.The legal action centers on California’s Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants, or CAPI, providing cash assistance to “certain aged, blind, and disabled legal immigrants” ineligible for social security payments due to their immigration status.

- Applicant’s Name and Date of Birth
- Copies of Applications
- Immigration Status
- Proof of Ineligibility for SSI from the Social Security Administration
