Section 8.200.520.12 - COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA) DISREGARD COMPUTATION
Current through Register Vol. 35, No. 18, September 24, 2024
The countable social security benefit without the COLA is calculated using the COLA increase table as follows:
A. divide the current gross social security benefit by the COLA increase in the most current year; the result is the social security benefit before the COLA increase;
B. divide the result from Subsection A above by the COLA increase from the previous period or year; the result is the social security benefit before the increase for that period or year; and
C. repeat Subsection B above for each year, through the year that the applicant or eligible recipient received both social security benefits and supplemental security income (SSI); the final result is the countable social security benefit.
