Living independently or in household of another - Includes all adult recipients in federal code A and federal Code B who are not included in any other state living arrangement. Also includes blind children in federal codes A, B, and federal Code C.
Living with an essential person - Includes recipients living in a private household with a person who provides the essential care and personal services that enable them to remain within their household.
Living in a residential care facility for adults - Facilities, which provide housing for 1 to 25 elderly or physically disabled adults who cannot live alone, yet do not require nursing home care.
Living in an enhanced family care facility - Community residences that are owned and operated by a person or family living in the residence. One or more individuals receive services in a certified family environment, and members of the host family provide the primary daily support.
Living in a community residence – Facilities which provide housing on a 24 hour basis to mentally ill or developmentally impaired persons. Care provided is a combination of supervised social, personal, and mental health services.

NOTE: See SSI State Supplement Guide to Terms for definitions of each of the below categories.
Optional State supplement provided to SSI recipients in living arrangements listed under "Payment Levels." Persons living in the household of another receive the same state supplement as those living independently. Blind children under the age of 18 are eligible for optional supplementation. Disabled children are eligible for optional supplementation only if they are aged 18 years old or older.
Aged, Blind, and Disabled: All aid is by law a lien on the estate of the recipient or spouse. Lien is not enforced as long as the individual or spouse is still living and for as long as the property is lawfully occupied by the recipient and/or surviving spouse unless it is sold or refinanced while the lien is in place. State may waive recovery.
Spouse for spouse; parent or stepparent for minor child.
Standard disregards for any income including SSI:
Living independently: $13 individual; $20 couple.
Living with essential person: $25 individual or couple.
Residential care facility for adults: $13 individual.
Community residences: $13 individual.
Enhanced family care facilities: $13 individual.
Earned income disregards:
Aged/Disabled: No disregards in addition to the Federal earned income disregards.

Other disregards:
If recipient receives income from other persons in exchange for providing room only for such person(s), $50 per person is deducted from such income. Actual expenses if greater may be allowed, subject to verification.
If income is received in exchange for room and board, the Food Stamp coupon allotment for each boarder is deducted in addition to the amounts given above.
No monetary or acreage limitation on property occupied as a home. Personal property limited to $1,500 net cash value for an individual or couple excluding clothing, household furnishings, tools, car, life insurance, and farm equipment or livestock used for food needs. Equity value of each individual’s life insurance policies is counted as a resource when the total combined equity value of the policies exceeds $1,500; it is excluded as a resource if the total combined equity value of the policies is less than $1,500 or the state has been named the beneficiary to the policies.
