SSI BENEFITS Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a cash benefit to needy per- sons who are aged (at least 65), blind or disabled. It is a federal program administered by the Social Security Administration (SSA). States are allowed the option to supplement the federal benefit with state funds. In Michigan SSI benefits include a basic federal benefit and an additional amount paid with state funds. The amount of the state benefit varies by living arrangement. Issued Benefits The SSA issues the federal benefit to all SSI recipients. The SSA also issues the state funded benefit for SSI recipients in the follow- ing living arrangements: • Adult foster care. Domiciliary care. Personal care. • Home for the aged. • Institution. Nursing home. Initially, a lump sum check maybe issued for any retroactive bene- fits. Thereafter, the SSA issues SSI benefits monthly, on the first of the month. State SSI Payment The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) issues the State SSI Payment (SSP) to SSI recipients in the following living arrangements: • Independent living. • Household of another. (Living in the household of another person and receiving partial or total support and maintenance in kind from that person.) Note: For payment levels see RFT 248 Reference Tables. Payments are made for only those months the recipient received a regular first of the month federal benefit. These are shown on SOLQ as a recurring payment dated the first of the month. SSPs are not issued for retroactive or supplemental federal benefits.
