Does Louisiana add money to SSI?

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

Louisiana is a “1634 state”: under an agreement with the state, SSA makes the Medicaid decision for people who get SSI and meet the citizenship or immigration rules, so most do not need a separate Medicaid application.
