B. Description of supplements for California
1. Definitions of State living arrangement variations
Code |
Definition |
---|---|
A |
Independent Living with Cooking Facilities for an Eligible individual or couple who meets one of the following situations:
|
B |
Non-medical Out-of-Home Care (NMOHC) applies when an individual or couple needs non-medical care, or supervision in the following living arrangement situations: CHILDREN (UNDER AGE 18)
ADULTS (AGE 18 AND OVER)
For California optional supplement (OS) purposes, a relative is defined as a parent, son, daughter, brother, sister, half-brother, half-sister, uncle, aunt, niece, nephew, first cousin, or any person of the preceding generation denoted by the prefix “grand” or “great.” |
C |
Independent Living Without Cooking Facilities -- Aged or disabled individual or couple who is neither provided any meals, nor has access to adequate cooking or food storage facilities as part of a living arrangement. Transients, as defined in SI 00835.060, are also eligible for OS C. An individual or couple qualifies for OS C if any of the following situations exists:
“Adequate” cooking and food storage facilities exist when an individual or couple has access to:
OR
OR
Eligibility for OS C begins in the month the recipient applies for this supplement rate provided they have been without cooking and food storage facilities throughout the month. NOTE: For purposes of OS C, “throughout a month” does not mean the recipient must lack adequate cooking or food storage facilities from the very first moment of the month. The recipient need only lack them from some time on the first day of the month. If you based eligibility on temporary loss or nonfunctioning of an appliance, advise the individual of their responsibility to immediately report when the temporary condition ceases. If the individual provides an expected repair or replacement date for the appliance, diary the case for re-contact. Eligibility for this supplementary payment ceases the month following the month that the recipient receives meals, or adequate cooking and food storage facilities are available. |
|
For a couple, comprised of an aged or disabled individual and a blind individual, whose living arrangement lacks adequate cooking and storage facilities, the couple receives the SSI and State Supplement Payment level for a blind or aged, or disabled couple, plus the restaurant meals allowance for the disabled member of the couple. This living arrangement requires force payment. |
D |
Living in the Household of Another -- Eligible individual or couple is living in the household of another and receives food and shelter from that individual. Most individuals or couples who are subject to a one-third reduction of their Federal SSI payments are eligible for OS D because the criteria for this supplement level are the same as charging the one-third reduction. However, when the eligible individual or couple lives in the home of a relative (other than a spouse) and needs care and supervision, you must obtain certification for non-medical out-of-home care (OS F) from the county welfare office since this is the highest categorical supplement for which an individual or couple can qualify. |
E |
Disabled Child Under Age 18 – Disabled (not blind) child under age 18 who resides with a parent or relative by blood or marriage. NOTE: Only FLA A and C are compatible with OS E. If the value of the one-third reduction (VTR) applies, see code G in this section. |
F |
Non-medical Out-of-Home Care Living in the Household of Another -- Applies whenever an eligible individual or couple meets the criteria for the non-medical out-of-home care payment rate, and is determined to receive the Federal code B payment for living in the household of another. For the One-Third Reduction Provision see SI 00835.200. |
G |
Disabled Child Under Age 18 Living in the Household of Another -- Applies to a disabled (not blind) child under age 18, who resides with a parent or relative by blood or marriage, and is determined to receive the Federal code B payment for living in the household of another individual. For the One-Third Reduction Provision, see SI 00835.200. |
J |
Residents of Title XIX facilities. Use this State code to supplement Section 1619 cases. |
Y |
Optional Supplementation Waived -- Individual is eligible for, but waives the right to receive an optional supplement. |
Z |
No Supplement Cases -- Eligible recipient who is a patient:
Includes residents of publicly operated emergency shelters throughout a month. NOTE: California is a concurrent category State, and permits SSI recipients to receive the highest categorical supplement for which they can qualify. |

F. Description of supplements for Iowa
1. Definitions of State living arrangement variations
Code |
Definition |
---|---|
A |
Living in Own Household (Blind Only) -- Only an eligible blind individual and the blind member of a couple who does not live in any other State living arrangement variation, does not have an Essential Person (EP), and is not otherwise excepted from supplementation. Also included are blind recipients in Title XIX facilities where Medicaid pays 50 percent or less of the cost of care. Optional supplement code A is also compatible with Federal codes A and C. Use optional supplement code A with an “intervening” Federal code A. For State Supplement codes, see SM 01301.535. |
B |
Living in the Household of Another (Blind Only) -- Only an eligible blind individual and the blind member of a couple who does not live in any other State living arrangement variation, lives in the household of another for Federal purposes, does not have an EP, and is not otherwise excepted from supplementation. |
C |
Living with a Dependent Person -- Eligible individual or each member of an eligible couple in Federal living arrangement A or C who has an ineligible spouse, parent, child, or adult child living in the home with them, and who is financially dependent upon the eligible individual as defined by the State Department of Human Services. The payment level for this variation increases by $22 for each blind individual or blind member of a couple to reflect the categorical blind supplement. |
H |
Living with a Dependent Person -- Eligible individual or each member of an eligible couple in Federal living arrangement B who has an ineligible spouse, parent, child, or adult child living in the home with them, and who is financially dependent upon the eligible individual as defined by the State Department of Human Services. The payment level for this variation increases by $22 for each blind individual or blind member of a couple to reflect the categorical blind supplement. |
I |
Living in a Family Life or Boarding Home -- Eligible individual or each member of an eligible couple in FLA A or B, who resides in a family life home or boarding home licensed by the State Department of Health, or certified by the State Department of Human Services. |
G |
Indicates that no supplement is payable to a recipient living in a Title XIX facility and Title XIX pays more than 50 percent of the cost of care; however, a Federal D living arrangement is not appropriate because the “throughout a month” requirement is not met at the time of the initial claim input. |
Y |
Optional Supplementation Waived -- Individual is eligible for, but waives the right to receive an optional supplement. |
Z |
No Supplement Cases = Residents of publicly operated emergency shelters throughout a month and aged and disabled recipients living in their own households, or living in the households of others. “No supplement” also applies to all recipients living in medical facilities not certified under Title XIX, or all recipients who receive reduced Federal payments of $30 or $60 due to living in a Title XIX facility. In addition, aged and disabled recipients whose Federal payments are not reduced, and who live in a Title XIX facility where Medicaid pays 50 percent or less of the cost of care do not receive a supplement. NOTE: The State Department of Human Services administers three optional supplementation programs:
|
NOTE: Iowa is a concurrent category State and permits SSI recipients to receive the highest categorical supplement for which they can qualify.
Blind recipients (either individuals or member of a couple) whose records include an EP have a supplementary payment level that includes $22 for each individual in addition to the FBR and EP increment and must be force paid.

G. Description of supplements for Massachusetts
1. Definitions of State living arrangement variations
Code |
Definition |
---|---|
A |
Full Cost-of-Living: An individual who is in FLA A is in State living arrangement A, if they are living in their own household1 and meets one of the following conditions:
NOTE: For purposes of 1 through 4, do not consider foster children placed with anyone other than their parents to be living with the foster parent. |
|
An individual who is in FLA C is in State living arrangement A if none of the other people with whom they are living receive public income maintenance payments. An individual who is in FLA A or C, and who does not meet the criteria in SI 01415.040G.1. (see Code A, 1, or 2 (in this chart)) is in State living arrangement A, if they pay at least two-thirds of the household expenses. In making a determination as to whether the individual pays two-thirds or more of the expenses, use the method defined in, SI 00835.160. Only use the household expenses shown in that section. You may use an ineligible spouse's income (except any assistance based upon need) to determine if the eligible person is paying two-thirds of the household expenses. A person living in a public congregate housing development is in A. The State makes the determination that a public congregate housing development is eligible for listing. Use optional supplement code A with an “intervening” Federal code A. For Optional State Supplement codes, see SM 01301.535. |
B |
Shared Living Expenses -- An individual who is in FLA A or C, and who does not meet the criteria listed for State living arrangement A, E, or G is in State living arrangement B. Also included in this living arrangement are transients, the homeless, and residents of public emergency shelters for the homeless (PESH). Those residing in group-care facilities, such as halfway houses, private medical facilities where Medicaid is paying 50 percent or less of the cost of care, foster homes, commercial boarding homes, or other facilities which do not meet the criteria for living arrangement E or public congregate housing defined in SI 01415.040G.1., Code A.4. (in this section). This includes children under the age of 18, who are in Federal living arrangement D because a private health insurance policy, or a combination of Medicaid and a private health insurance policy pays, or is expected to pay over 50 percent of the cost of care for that month. For determination of applicability of $30 payment limit, see SI 00520.011C.1.b. This also includes individuals placed under the auspices of the State adult foster care program, and residents of publicly operated emergency shelters throughout a month. An individual living in a household where all members receive public income maintenance payments, unless they are paying at least two-thirds of the household expenses (A). An individual living in a mixed household; i.e., a household where one or more other members receive a public income maintenance payment, is also included, unless the individual is paying at least two-thirds of the household expenses (A). |
C |
Living in the Household of Another -- Recipients determined under Federal rules to be living in the household of another and receiving support and maintenance which reduce the Federal benefit by one-third. |
E |
Licensed Rest Home -- Persons residing in a licensed rest home, all of which or the portion in which they live in is licensed by, and has a provider agreement with the State. This does not include residents of a Medicaid certified portion of a rest home. |
F |
Effective 07/01/87, the State elected Federal administration of this optional State supplementary payment to residents of Title XIX facilities where Medicaid pays more than 50 percent of the cost of care. This includes children under the age of 18 for whom Medicaid alone pays or expects to pay over 50 percent of the cost of care for that month. |
G |
Assisted Living -- Effective 07/01/94, the State elected Federal administration of this variation. Includes an individual, certified by the State to be residing in an Assisted Living residence served by a certified Group Adult Foster Care provider, who does not receive assistance under any other Federal or State rental assistance program, and who pays a fixed, non-separable fee for rent and supportive services, other than medically necessary services reimbursed by Medicaid. The State certifies to SSA each individual who is eligible for this optional supplement living arrangement. This living arrangement was discontinued effective 01/01/96; but restored, retroactively, to 01/01/97. |
Y |
Optional Supplementation Waived -- Individual is eligible for, but waives the right to receive, an optional supplement. |
NOTE: Massachusetts is a concurrent category State and permits SSI recipients to receive the highest categorical supplement for which they can qualify.
1For purposes of determining State living arrangements, do not consider a commercial boarding house, foster home, or halfway house the person's household.
2Use the SSI definition of child in, SI 00501.010 .
3A public income maintenance payment is a payment from any of the following programs:
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Refugee Act of 1980
Disaster Relief Act of 1974
General Assistance programs of the Bureau of Indian Affairs
State or local government income maintenance programs that are based on need or
Department of Veterans Affairs benefits.

K. Description of supplements for New Jersey
1. Definitions of State living arrangement variations
Code |
Definition |
---|---|
A |
Congregate Care - Eligible recipient in FLA A. The living arrangement includes the following:
|
B |
Living Alone or with Others -- Eligible recipients FLA A or C who do not meet the requirements defined in other supplementation categories. Therefore, any eligible recipient who meets the requirement for FLA A is in optional supplement B unless residing in a residential health care facility or living alone with an ineligible spouse. Automatically entitle any child meeting the criteria for a Federal code C to optional supplement B. This category includes, but is not limited to, those eligible recipients who are in one of the following situations:
Use optional supplement code B with an “intervening” Federal code A. For State Supplement codes, see SM 01301.535. Also, use this State code to supplement Section 1619 cases. |
C |
Living Alone with an Ineligible Spouse -- An individual lives with their ineligible spouse, and there are no other persons who are part of the household. Determine who is an ineligible spouse for State supplementation purposes by using Federal criteria; i.e., a spouse, either by marriage or holding out, who is either not eligible for SSI, or who chooses not to apply. Once other persons, even minor children, are present in the household, this supplementary payment variation cannot exist. However, it is possible that a claimant and their ineligible spouse live with others and allege that they are a separate “household” by virtue of the fact that they eat their meals out or have separate purchase and preparation of food. In this instance, an optional supplement C is permissible as long as no other person is in his or her “household.” There is no couple counterpart in this category. Consider parent(s) with minor children to be in the same household and therefore the presence of minor children in the household of an ineligible spouse would result in optional supplement B. A transient individual who co-exists only with an ineligible spouse also qualifies for the Optional Supplement C rate. |
D |
Living in the Household of Another -- Persons who are “living in the household of another” for Federal purposes. |
I |
Licensed Residential Health Care Facilities -- Attached to a nursing home; Assisted Living Residence; CPCH; or “free standing”. Prior to 01/01/06, residents of these facilities were paid at the OS “A” rate. Base authorization to make this payment on the recipient's residence at a facility listed in the New Jersey Congregate Care Directory . Only the RHCF section of a multipurpose facility is eligible for the OS “I” rate. Pay residents of the Assisted Living Resident (ALR, or CPCH section of a multipurpose facility at the OS “A” rate. Nursing home residents are in living arrangement (D/G) if Medicaid pays more than 50 percent of the cost of care. |
G |
Effective 09/01/88, the State elected Federal administration of an optional State supplementary payment to residents of Title XIX facilities. |
Y |
Optional Supplementation Waived -- Individual is eligible for, but waives the right to receive an optional supplement. |
Z |
No Supplement Cases – Recipients in licensed medical facilities where Medicaid pays less than 50 percent of the cost of care, recipients in publicly operated community residences having 16 or less residents, and residents of publicly operated emergency shelters throughout a month. It also includes cases that were FLA D prior to 01/1988, or effective 12/01/96, for children under age 18 residing in certain public or private facilities, receiving payment for their care under any health insurance policy issued by a private provider. For determination of applicability of $30 payment limit, see SI 00520.011. |
