SSI State Supplement - Wyoming

 

Image of the Wyoming State Flag. The flag displays a bison, the Wyoming State Mammal often called the monarch of the plains, centered on the flag. Branded on the white-colored bison is the Great Seal of Wyoming. The bison faces the staff, and is placed on a large field of blue. The blue field has a small edging of white, seperating it from a band of red at the outer edge of all four sides of the flag. The most prominent feature of Wyoming's seal is the central figure of a woman standing before a banner which reads 'Equal Rights'. Wyoming bears the honorable distinction of being at the forefront of states advocating equal rights for men and women, well before the turn of the century. On either side of the female figure are two pillars, each with scrolls that proclaim Wyoming's major economic strengths: oil, mines, livestock, and grain. On each pillar are burning lamps, symbolizing the Light of Knowledge. In the foreground, a striped shield and star, topped by an eagle, represent Wyoming's sovereignty and dedication to the Union. The number 44 identifies Wyoming as the 44th state to enter the Union. On either side of a shield are the dates 1869 and 1890, which represent, respectively, the date that Wyoming organized as a Territory, and the date that Wyoming gained statehood. Flanking the pillars are figures representing the livestock and mining industries. An outer circle bears the words 'The Great Seal of the State of Wyoming'. The colors of the State Flag are the same as those of the National Flag. The red border represents the Indians who knew and loved the country long before the settlers came.; also the blood of the pioneers who gave their lives reclaiming the soil. White is the emblem of purity and uprightness over Wyoming. Blue, the color of the sky and mountains, is symbolic of fidelity, justice and virility. The flag was adopted in 1917.Wyoming provides State Supplements to Federal SSI benefit payments for residents in one of the living arrangements specified in the table below.
