SSP provides state-funded financial assistance to individuals who receive SSI or who do not qualify for SSI due to income as provided by 106 CMR 327.120. No other individuals are eligible for SSP.

SSP provides financial assistance to blind individuals through the authority of the Massachusetts Commission for the Blind and to aged and disabled individuals through the authority of the Department of Transitional Assistance.

SSP clients must meet program criteria provided in 106 CMR 327.000. Such criteria are based on and should be interpreted in accordance with applicable Social Security law, regulations and relevant sub-regulatory materials, such as Social Security Rulings (SSRs), Program Operations Manual System (POMS), and Emergency Messages (EMs). In accordance with federal law, payment levels are based on Eligibility Category, State Living Arrangement and whether the client is considered an individual or a member of an eligible couple. See20 CFR 416, Subpart T.
