VA Auxiliary Grants

Auxiliary Grants (AGs) are a State administered income supplement for recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) (and individuals who would be eligible for SSI except for income) who reside in a licensed assisted living facility or an approved adult foster care home (also called an adult family care home). The Department of Social Services and local Social Services offices administer AGs.

AGs help individuals cover the cost of staying in the facility or home (room, board and services). They also provide AG recipients with a Personal Allowance. See AG Payment Levels for information about payment amounts, and see AG Rate for information about the cost of staying in assisted living facilities and adult foster care homes.

For information about eligibility requirements, see: Auxiliary Grant Eligibility and AG Income Eligibility.

For information about the affect of employment on Auxiliary Grant payments, see: Auxiliary Grants and Employment.

For information about the services that Auxiliary Grants pay for, see: Auxiliary Grant Covered Services.
