State Supplemental Payment- Financial Eligibility - Oklahoma

Income Eligibility: Income eligibility is determined by deducting the total countable income from the SSP/Categorically Needy Standard for an Eligible Individual, subject to the maximum payment shown on DHS Appendix C-1, Schedule VIII.A for the individual. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.)

Resources: The Resource Standard that must be met is listed in the above Appendix in Schedule VIII.D, and is called the "Maximum Reserve".

"Eligible Individual with Essential or Ineligible Spouse" means an individual who is aged, blind or disabled and has a spouse who does not meet these requirements. Eligibility is determined by:

(A) "Eligible Individual with Essential Spouse" - deducting the total countable income of the eligible individual and essential spouse from the "SSP/Categorically Needy Standard for the Eligible Individual with Essential or Ineligible Spouse. (An essential spouse is defined as having been continuously included in the case since prior to 1974.)  

If the amount is equal to or greater than the SSP/Categorically Needy Standard, the application is denied or the case is closed.

(B) "Eligible Individual with Ineligible Spouse" - deducting the total countable income of the eligible individual from the "SSP/Categorically Needy Standard for the Eligible Individual".  

If the amount is equal to or greater than the SSP/Categorically Needy Standard, the application is denied or the case is closed. If the amount is less than the "SSP/Categorically Needy Standard for the Eligible Individual", total countable income of the individual and the ineligible spouse is deducted from the "SSP/Categorically Needy Standard for Eligible Individual with Essential or Ineligible Spouse" to compute the payment, subject to the maximum payment shown on DHS Appendix C-1, Schedule VIII.A. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.) If the amount is equal to or greater than the SSP/Categorically Needy Standard the application is denied or the case is closed. The one person standard is used for the Eligible Individual when the ineligible spouse is included in an AFDC case.

(C) "Eligible Individual with Ineligible Spouse and Dependent Children" 

(i) If the ineligible spouse and dependent children are included in an AFDC payment, their income is considered on the AFDC case and none is deemed to the eligible individual.

(ii) If the ineligible spouse's needs are not included in the AFDC case for the children, the portion of the ineligible spouses income that is considered in determining the grant for the children is not considered in the SSP case.

(iii) If the dependent children are not receiving AFDC, the child(ren)'s allocation (minus the child(ren)'s income) is deducted from the ineligible spouse's income to determine the amount to be considered on the SSP case. See DHS Appendix C-1, Schedule VIII.C, for child(ren) allocation. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.)

(iv) Income of a child is never deemed to the adult.

Financial Eligibility - Couple

Income Eligibility: The SSP payment for an Eligible Couple is computed by deducting the combined total countable income from the SSP/Categorically Needy Standard for Eligible Couple. The SSP payment for each is one-half of the remainder, subject to the maximum payment shown on DHS Appendix C-1, Schedule VIII.A, for each eligible individual. (Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.)

Resources: The Resource Standard that must be met is listed in the above Appendix C-1, Schedule VIII.D, and is called the "Maximum Reserve".
