SSI/SSP Reimbursement Rates

Effective January 1, 2012

The Non-Medical Out of Home Care (NMOHC) Payment Standard
will increase as follows:

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) $698

State Supplementary Payment (SSP) $412

Total NMOHC Payment Standard $1,110*

The NMOHC Payment Standard includes the following components:

Room and Board $476

Care and Supervision (maximum) $506

Amount Payable for Basic Services $982

Personal and Incidental Needs Allowance $128

(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 $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 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.
