AID TO THE NEEDY DISABLED-COLORADO SUPPLEMENT (AND-CS)

PROGRAM The Aid to the Needy Disabled-Colorado Supplement (AND-CS) program provides a supplemental payment for clients age zero (0) to fifty-nine (59) who are receiving SSI due to a disability or blindness, but are not receiving the full SSI benefit standard, as defined in Section 3.510. A. The total AND-CS grant standard is $994, effective January 1, 2026. B. The grant standard for AND-CS shall be adjusted as needed to remain within available appropriations. Appeals shall not be allowed for grant standard adjustments necessary to stay within available appropriations. C. In addition to the regular monthly AND-CS grant payments, supplemental payments necessary to comply with the Federal pass-along requirements may be provided. These payments are supplements to regular grant payments and may be provided to eligible Adult Financial recipients in two (2) forms: 1. MOE Lump Sum Payments – These irregular lump sum payments cannot be anticipated, are not an entitlement, and do not affect grant standards. Appeals shall not be allowed for MOE payment adjustments. The Federal pass-along requirements are located in the Federal Regulations found at 20 C.F.R. § 416.2095-2099 (October 2025), which are hereby incorporated by reference. No later amendments or editions are incorporated. These regulations are available at no cost at https://www.ecfr.gov. These regulations are also available for public inspection and copying at the Colorado Department of Human Services, Division of Economic and Workforce Support, 1575 Sherman Street, Denver, Colorado 80203, during regular business hours. 2. State Supplementary Payment – These monthly payments are included as supplements to regular grant payments when an OAP, AND-CS, or HCA client’s Adult Financial grant is less than the payment floor standard. The supplemental payment is in addition to the grant payment and brings the client’s monthly benefit amount equal to the payment floor standard defined for the program(s) in which the client is enrolled. D. Effective January 1, 2026, the maximum ISM amount for shelter costs is $351. E. Effective January 1, 2026, the payment floor standard for AND-CS is $13.
