State Supplementary Assistance Income - Iowa

A person must have less income than the standard for the person’s living arrangement. For the standards that apply to that program see:

·        Income Limits for Dependent Person Assistance

·        Income Limits for Family Life Home Assistance

·        Income Limits for In-Home Health-Related Care Assistance

·        Income Limits for Residential Care Facility Assistance

Any supplemental payment made from any source is considered as income, unless it is paid by a non-federal government entity. Any income is used to reduce the State Supplementary Assistance payment. When a recipient’s income reaches the point where the cost of the special need is met, the State Supplementary Assistance payment is canceled.

Because Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may not consider some types of supplementation as income, SSI payments may continue even when State Supplementary Assistance payments are canceled. When the recipient continues to receive SSI, Medicaid coverage also continues.

When a client is not an SSI recipient, the SSI-related Medicaid policies are used to determine countable income.
