Does Idaho add money to SSI?

State supplement: n/d. Idaho is not in SSA's January 2026 table of supplements that SSA pays for states. If Idaho 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 Idaho
