SSI in Colorado: state supplement, recipients and offices
In December 2025, 67,184 people in Colorado got SSI, and SSA paid them $49.0 million that month. SSA pays no state supplement here; any extra money comes from the state itself.
Does Colorado add money to SSI?
State supplement: n/d. Colorado is not in SSA's January 2026 table of supplements that SSA pays for states. If Colorado 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.
