SSI/SSP Rates
Non-Medical Out-of-Home Care (NMOHC) Payment Standard
Effective January 1, 2012
| Supplemental Security Income (SSI) | $698.00 |
| State Supplementary Payment (SSP) | $412.00 _________ |
| Total NMOHC Payment Standard | $1110.00* |
| The NMOHC Payment Standard includes the following components: | |
| Room and Board | $476.00 |
| Care and Supervision (maximum) | $506.00 _________ |
| Amount Payable for Basic Services | $982.00** |
| Personal and Incidental Needs Allowance (must be provided to the recipient) (minimum) |
$128.00 _________ |
| $1110.00 | |
| * Amounts are double for SSI/SSP couples |
| ** NOTE: Recipients who have income in addition to their SSI/SSP check (for example, a pension, Social Security retirement, or disability benefits) can be charged the $982.00 amount for basic services plus an additional $20. Because federal rules do not count the first $20 of a recipient's income against his/her SSI/SSP grant, an SSI/SSP recipient with other income has an extra $20 that people who receive only an SSI/SSP check do not have. Neither federal nor state law restricts the recipient in how this additional $20 is spent. Thus, if the recipient agrees in the admission agreement to pay the additional $20 for basic services, the facility may charge the additional amount. |
