SSI in New Hampshire: state supplement, recipients and offices
In December 2025, 15,275 people in New Hampshire got SSI, and SSA paid them $10.8 million that month. SSA pays no state supplement here; any extra money comes from the state itself.
Does New Hampshire add money to SSI?
State supplement: n/d. New Hampshire is not in SSA's January 2026 table of supplements that SSA pays for states. If New Hampshire 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.
