Effective January 1, 2008,
the Non-Medical Out of Home Care (NMOHC) Payment
Standard
will increase as follows:
| Supplemental Security Income (SSI) |
$637 |
| State Supplementary Payment (SSP) |
$412 |
| Total NMOHC Payment Standard |
$1,049* |
| The NMOHC Payment Standard includes the
following components:
|
| Room and Board |
$450 |
| Care and Supervision (maximum) |
$478 |
| Amount Payable for Basic Services |
$928 |
| Personal and Incidental Needs Allowance |
$121 |
| (must be provided to the recipient) |
|
| * 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
$928.00 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 amount 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. |
