| Description of Subjects/Issues |
On October 11, 2018, the Social Security Administration (SSA) announced a 2.8% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) for all Social Security and Supplemental Security Income recipients effective December 31, 2018. Colorado has a Maintenance of Effort requirement with the Social Security Administration that requires the State to “pass through” the COLA to recipients in order to spend at least the same amount in the current year as in the year prior. This means an increase in Adult Financial assistance. These rules propose an increase to the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) maximum payment by twenty one dollars ($21) ($750 x 2.8% = $21) to $771 per month.
This rule will revise the Colorado Department of Human Services rules to increase the Old Age Pension (OAP) grant standard to $809, the Aid to the Needy Disabled Colorado Supplement (AND-CS) grant standard to $771, and the Adult Foster Care (AFC) grant standard to $1403 in order to pass along the $21 COLA increase. The components of the grant standard will be adjusted accordingly. |
