Does Alaska add money to SSI?

State supplement: n/d. Alaska is not in SSA's January 2026 table of supplements that SSA pays for states. If Alaska pays a supplement, the state pays it, not SSA, and we found no current official table for it. Ask the state agency that runs social services. For questions about SSI itself, call SSA at 1-800-772-1213.

SSI and Medicaid in Alaska

Alaska is an “SSI criteria state”: it uses SSI's rules for Medicaid but makes its own decision, so people with SSI apply for Medicaid with the state.
