SSI in Nevada: state supplement, recipients and offices
In December 2025, 52,948 people in Nevada got SSI, and SSA paid them $40.1 million that month. The state adds a supplement through SSA for some living settings.
Nevada state supplement paid with SSI
Nevada 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, the state adds Aged $36.40 · Blind $109.30 · Disabled $0.00 a month (January 2026). In Nevada the supplement paid through SSA goes to people who are aged or blind. People who get SSI because of a disability get no Nevada supplement through SSA.

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.

SSI and Medicaid in Nevada
Nevada 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.
