MS 1220 (1) Volume 1 – General Administration MS 1220 – R. 7/1/21 – OMTL-580 KTAP Claims for SSI Recipients When a Supplemental Security Income (SSI) individual is determined not eligible to receive an SSI payment, regardless of the reason: A. Determine Kentucky Transitional Assistance Program (KTAP) eligibility for each month the member was excluded from KTAP. B. Use actual resources and income received in the specific month, including the resources and income of the member who was receiving the SSI payment. Do not include the SSI payment as income. C. If the case was eligible for KTAP, determine the correct payment and compare it to the amount issued. If the correct amount is less than what was issued, establish a claim for the difference. D. If the case was ineligible for KTAP for a given month, the KTAP issued is the claim amount. Example: In January 2008, it is discovered a parent receiving SSI was not eligible for SSI beginning January 2007. The resources and income of the SSI recipient had been excluded in determining KTAP eligibility. Re-determine financial eligibility using all resources and income (Do not count the SSI) for all months the family received KTAP and SSI. If the family is KTAP ineligible, the claim amount is the KTAP benefit issued. E. No claim exists if the SSI individual is removed from the KTAP case effective the date given to the Social Security Administration (SSA). The initial SSI payment is reduced dollar-for-dollar by the individual's proportionate share of the KTAP benefit amount up to the month of the effective removal from the case.
