SSI State Supplement - Rhode Island

 

Image of the Rhode Island State Flag. The flag displays a gold ship's anchor, recognized as a symbol of hope for centuries, centered on a white field surrounded by thirteen gold stars, representing the first thirteen states. Below the anchor is a blue ribbon that displays the word 'HOPE', the state motto. The colors and design of the flag date back to colonial times and the original establishment of Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations under King Charles II of England. The most prominent feature of the flag, the anchor, dates back to 1647 and the Cromwellian Patent of 1643 when the Providence Plantations were established. Later, when a more liberal charter was bestowed upon the colony, the anchor was again chosen for the seal and the word 'HOPE' was added. The colors, white and blue, were flown during the American Revolution, the War of 1812 and the Mexican War. The thirteen stars representing the original thirteen colonies were also displayed on flags flown by the Continental Regiments during the Revolution. The flag was adopted in 1897.Rhode Island provides State Supplements to Federal SSI benefit payments for residents in one of the living arrangements specified in the table below.
