Eligibility for State Supplement Program

An application for SSI serves is an application for SSP. There is no separate SSP application. Eligibility for SSP is determined after an eligibility determination for SSI is made by the Social Security Administration (SSA). The Department must accept the SSA determination. Individuals may be eligible for SSP if they are either: (A) determined eligible for SSI; or (B) determined not eligible for SSI solely due to income, but their countable income is less than the combined Federal Benefit Rate (FBR) and the appropriate SSP payment.
