Abstract:

California adds a supplement to the monthly benefit received by Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program participants in that state. Reductions in this state benefit in calendar years (CY) 2006 and 2007, and a suspension of the scheduled cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to this state benefit will have the effect of offsetting increases to the federal SSI benefit and will result in smaller than normal increases to the total benefit paid to program participants in California. This report will be updated to reflect any policy changes.
