Summary

Implements the New Mexico SSI State Supplement, a flat $100/month payment for SSI recipients living in licensed Adult Residential Shelter Care Homes (ARSCH).

Closes #7345

Regulatory authority

  • Statute: NMSA 1978, Section 27-2-9.1 ("Administration of shelter care supplement")
  • Regulations: 8.106.500.10 NMAC (effective March 1, 2025) - source
  • Benefit groups: 8.106.400.10 NMAC - couples treated as separate benefit groups
  • Definitions: 8.106.100.7 NMAC - ARSCH facility definition
  • Administering agency: New Mexico Health Care Authority (HCA), Income Support Division

Program details

Feature Value
Payment amount $100/month (flat)
Eligibility SSI recipients aged 18+ in licensed ARSCH facilities
Calculation Flat payment (not gap-fill)
Program type Optional State Supplementary Payment (OSS)
Effective since At least July 1, 2004

Eligibility criteria (8.106.500.10 NMAC)

  1. Must be receiving SSI under Title XVI
  2. Must reside in a licensed ARSCH facility
  3. Must be age 18 or older
  4. No additional state income/resource tests beyond federal SSI

Benefit calculation

If eligible: $100/month × 12 = $1,200/year
If not eligible: $0

Couples in ARSCH facilities are treated as two separate benefit groups per 8.106.400.10 NMAC, so each eligible person receives $100/month individually.
