TCVAP (state-funded refugee-level benefits for non-citizen victims of trafficking and serious crimes in California): who qualifies, what you get, how to apply, and what happens next
TCVAP gives non-citizen victims of human trafficking, domestic violence and other serious crimes the cash, food, medical and employment benefits refugees get, paid by the state while they work toward a T or U visa. Apply at the county social services office or BenefitsCal.
What TCVAP is, in one paragraph
The Trafficking and Crime Victims Assistance Program (TCVAP) gives non-citizen victims of human trafficking, domestic violence and other serious crimes the same benefits refugees get (cash, food, medical, employment and social services) while they work toward federal eligibility, such as a T or U visa (rule:who, rule:state_mirror). The state pays for it; the counties run it under the CDSS Refugee Programs Bureau.
4 months
how long TCVAP Cash Assistance lasts for people eligible on or after 5 May 2025; 12 for those eligible before (LA DPSS, rule:cash_four_months)
Who may qualify
A non-citizen victim of trafficking, domestic violence or another serious crime, and eligible family members (rule:who, rule:family), who:
for trafficking: gives a sworn statement or other evidence (rule:docs_trafficking) and shows a step toward federal eligibility: a letter from an advocate, lawyer or official, a T visa receipt, or the application (rule:docs_path);
for another serious crime: gives a copy of the U visa application, its receipt, or an Employment Authorization Document (rule:docs_u_visa);
meets the income and resource test of each benefit (rule:income_resources).
Child trafficking victims under 18 need no certification (rule:minors). Once the federal government certifies a trafficking victim, the federal refugee programs take over (rule:certification_moves_to_federal).
Cash comes as TCVAP CalWORKs for families with minor children or TCVAP Cash Assistance for everyone else (rule:two_cash_parts), on the CalWORKs/RCA grant table. In Los Angeles County (Region 1), levels effective 1 October 2024 (rule:cash_amount_map):

"## What TCVAP is, in one paragraph\n\nThe Trafficking and Crime Victims Assistance Program (TCVAP) gives non-citizen victims of human trafficking, domestic violence and other serious crimes the same benefits refugees get (cash, food, medical, employment and social services) while they work toward federal eligibility, such as a T or U visa (rule:who, rule:state_mirror). The state pays for it; the counties run it under the CDSS Refugee Programs Bureau.",

"## Who may qualify\n\nA non-citizen victim of trafficking, domestic violence or another serious crime, and eligible family members (rule:who, rule:family), who:\n\n- **for trafficking:** gives a sworn statement or other evidence (rule:docs_trafficking) and shows a step toward federal eligibility: a letter from an advocate, lawyer or official, a T visa receipt, or the application (rule:docs_path);\n- **for another serious crime:** gives a copy of the U visa application, its receipt, or an Employment Authorization Document (rule:docs_u_visa);\n- meets the income and resource test of each benefit (rule:income_resources).\n\nChild trafficking victims under 18 need no certification (rule:minors). Once the federal government certifies a trafficking victim, the federal refugee programs take over (rule:certification_moves_to_federal).\n\n**Cash** comes as TCVAP CalWORKs for families with minor children or TCVAP Cash Assistance for everyone else (rule:two_cash_parts), on the CalWORKs/RCA grant table. In Los Angeles County (Region 1), levels effective 1 October 2024 (rule:cash_amount_map):\n\n| Household size | Non-exempt | Exempt |\n|---|---|---|\n| 1 | $734 | $809 |\n| 2 | $930 | $1,039 |\n| 3 | $1,175 | $1,314 |\n| 4 | $1,416 | $1,579 |",
"## What the model on this page can do for you\n\nThis article is also the context of a model you can text or chat with. The buttons under the title open Messages with a note already written, or a chat on this page. The model has read this exact page: the rules above with their source ids, the procedure below, and the other programs the same facts open. It never asks for details of the crime. It asks for one or two facts at a time, starting with the kind of crime and the step taken toward a visa, tells you which documents match, names the programs you may also qualify for, and gives the exact next step. It has no tools: it cannot apply for you, and it says so. Every message is kept on this build's Ledger.\n\nA screening here is a screening, not a decision. The county decides. The Human Trafficking Victims Resource Hotline is (888) 373-7888 (rule:hotline).",

The page, the Markdown and the machine copy at [/a/california-tcvap.json](https://miscsubjects.com/a/california-tcvap.json) are three views of it. Its `facts` carry the article's identity and jurisdiction, the procedure with its stages, every rule with its source id and verification status, the fields with their canonical fact names, the ontology edges into the benefits graph, the declared actions, the model's instructions, and the permissions the model has (none). The model's context is served separately at [/a/california-tcvap/context](https://miscsubjects.com/a/california-tcvap/context): the same object, projected for a model.\n\nWhat is saved: a thread per phone number that texts, holding which articles it asked about, how many messages, and the facts it stated, so a person who comes back continues rather than restarts. Every message, in either direction, is a row on this build's Ledger.\n\nFigures carry their status in `facts.rules[].status`. The four-month cash limit is read from the Los Angeles County RCA page; the county's older TCVAP policy page still states 12 months. Grant levels are Los Angeles County's; Region 2 levels are UNKNOWN here.",
