Current through September 24, 2024
A. This type of income is defined as follows:
1. Aged, blind
and disabled individuals converted from state welfare rolls are deemed to have
filed for SSI beginning January 1, 1974. These converted recipients receive SSI
and a Mandatory State Supplement to maintain the 12/73 income levels of former
assistance recipients and protect them from suffering a loss of income under
the SSI Program. In addition, certain recipients may receive MSS without an SSI
payment.
2. The Social Security
Administration (SSA) administers MSS payments in Mississippi. MSS payments are
included with SSI benefits each month or paid separately if the individual does
not receive SSI.
B. This type of income is treated as follows:
1. MSS
payments are treated as Income Based on Need (IBON) for income purposes. Note:
Currently, there are no remaining state supplement cases in the
state.
