1. General Supplementation
Beginning October 1, 1979, the District began paying a supplement of $15.00 to SSI eligible individuals and $30.00 to SSI eligible couples who were living in their own households (OS code C), living in their own households with an essential person (OS code E), living in the household of another (OS code D) and living in the household of another with an essential person (OS code F). “Optional supplement only” payments were provided for those persons not eligible for a Federal SSI payment, but whose Federal countable income (FCI) was within the total payment level applicable to the pertinent living arrangement.
Effective May 1995, the District eliminated state supplement payments to recipients in OS code E and reduced the state payment amount to those is OS codes C, D and F. Effective January 1997, the District eliminated state supplement payments to recipients in OS codes C, D and F.
