Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment Program
Total General Fund expenditures for the Supplemental Security Income/State Supplementary Payment (SSI/SSP) program are $3.5 billion in 2006-07, representing a decrease of $11.4 million compared to the Governor's Budget. The SSI/SSP General Fund expenditures for 2007-08 are $3.6 billion, a decrease of $262.3 million from the Governor's Budget, primarily resulting from suspension of the January 2008 cost-of-living adjustment (COLA). Caseload for the SSI/SSP program is projected at 1,228,000 recipients in 2006-07 and 1,250,400 recipients in 2007-08, a year-to-year caseload growth of 1.8 percent.
The May Revision proposes to suspend the January 2008 state COLA in the SSI/SSP program. This will result in a savings of $184.7 million in 2007-08 and ongoing savings of $369.5 million in future years. Due to pass-through of the federal COLA on January 1, 2008, monthly grant payment levels will increase from $856 for aged or disabled individuals and from $1,502 for aged or disabled couples to $863 and $1,514 respectively. California's SSI/SSP payment levels for individuals and couples are projected to maintain rankings of second and first in the nation, respectively (Figure HHS-01).
