SSI in District of Columbia: state supplement, recipients and offices
In December 2025, 22,887 people in District of Columbia got SSI, and SSA paid them $18.4 million that month. The state adds a supplement through SSA for some living settings.
District of Columbia state supplement paid with SSI
District of Columbia is one of 12 places where SSA pays the state supplement together with the federal SSI payment, in one deposit. For someone living on their own, SSA pays no state supplement here; the state part is only for people in the settings below. Through SSA, the District adds a supplement only for residents of certified adult foster care homes.
| Where the person lives | State part, one person | Total per month, one person | Total, couple |
|---|---|---|---|
| Living in your own home | $0.00 | $994.00 | $1,491.00 |
| In someone else's household that provides your shelter (federal part cut by one-third) | $0.00 | $662.67 | $994.00 |
| Adult foster care home with 50 or fewer residents | $681.00 | $1,675.00 | $3,208.00 |
| Adult foster care home with more than 50 residents | $791.00 | $1,785.00 | $3,428.00 |
January 2026 amounts. "n/d" means SSA's table has no amount for that case. Totals add the 2026 federal rate ($994; $662.67 in someone else's household) and assume no other income.
2027: the federal part rises to $1,029 ($1,544 for a couple). SSA had not published the January 2027 state amounts when we checked on Oct. 27, 2026, so the 2027 state part is n/d here.
