program in 1974. In order to ensure a continuity in the SSI income level of these recipients, the SSA uses a separate, complex formula to determine the amount of the state supplement. Therefore, the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) has left the administration of mandatory supplements for all living arrangements as a federal responsibility. However, some of the recipients receiving mandatory supplements in independent living or household of another living arrangements receive less than the State SSI Payment. Benefit Reduction The DHS-430, Notice of State SSI Payment Change, is sent to each SSI recipient whose current quarterly State SSI Payment is less than the previous quarterly State SSI Payment. If the recipient wants to request a hearing, he/she is referred to the local office Hearings Coordinator; see BPG Glossary. The DHS-430, Notice of State SSI Payment Change, does all of the following: • Gives recipients timely notice of any proposed benefit reduction. • Notifies recipients of their hearing rights and the date by which a timely hearing request will preserve benefits at the current level pending the hearing decision. • Notifies recipients of the date they will receive their next (reduced) quarterly check. Recipients receiving an DHS-430 will receive their check with the recipient ID digit end 9’s; see RFS 106, State SSI Payment Payroll Deadline Schedule. Payment History The SSP quarterly warrants are listed on Bridges benefit issuance screen. SSP monthly amounts are shown on Bridges eligibility search screen.
