1. Definitions of State living arrangement variations for Nevada

Code Definition A Independent living or living in parental household Use OS code “A” for an aged or blind eligible recipient who meets one of the following situations: a. Lives in their own household as defined for Federal living arrangement “A” purposes; b. Is a patient in a certified private medical facility where Title XIX does not pay more than 50 percent of the cost of care; or c. Is a blind child under age 18 (age 21 for recipients who qualify as a “protected child”) living in a parent's household. Use with an “intervening” Federal code “A.” For optional State supplement codes, see SM 01301.535. B Living in the household of another Use OS code “B” for aged or blind recipient who is living in the household of another and receiving food and shelter from that person. Aged or blind recipients who are subject to a one-third reduction (VTR) of their Federal SSI payment are eligible for optional supplement “B” because the criteria for this supplement level are the same as for Federal code “B.” C Domiciliary care Apply OS code “C” to aged or blind recipients who the State has certified to live in a private non-medical facility or, a residential facility serving 16 or fewer persons that provides personal care and services to aged, infirm, or handicapped adult persons who are unrelated to the proprietor. The State licenses these facilities for direct payment. The State provides SSA with listings of these facilities. Y Optional supplementation waived Use OS code “Y” to indicate that a recipient is eligible for an optional supplement but has waived their right to receive supplementation. Z Apply “No Supplement ” code “Y” to the following recipients: • disabled eligible recipient or disabled member of eligible couple; • eligible recipient or member of eligible couple in a medical facility where Title XIX pays more than 50 percent of the cost; • eligible recipient or member of eligible couple who is a patient in a private medical facility, which is not certified under Title XIX; or • recipients who are residing throughout a month in publicly operated emergency shelters.

NOTE: Nevada is a concurrent category State and permits SSI recipients to receive the highest categorical supplement for which they can qualify. For more information on multi-category eligibility, see SI 00501.300B.3.
