SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME/STATE SUPPLEMENTARY PAYMENT PROGRAM
 On January 1, 2009, the monthly grant payment levels will increase from $870 for aged or disabled individuals and from $1,524 for aged or disabled couples to $887 and $1,550, respectively, given a federal cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program. The Budget permanently suspends provision of the June 2008 and June 2009 State Supplementary Payment (SSP) program COLAs. California's SSI/SSP payment levels for individuals and couples remain the highest among the nation's 10 most populous states and are projected to maintain national rankings of second and first, respectively.
