SSI state supplements by state
Some states add money to SSI. In 12 places SSA pays that state supplement for the state, together with the federal payment. The amount depends on the state and on where the person lives.
States where SSA pays the supplement. With the federal SSI payment, in one deposit.
California, living on your own. The largest supplement for that case: $1,233.94 in total in 2026.
The other 39 states. Any supplement there is paid by the state itself; SSA's table does not include it.

A careful reading matters. In New Jersey, code A is congregate care; someone living alone is code B ($31.25). In Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Montana and Rhode Island, SSA pays no supplement to people living on their own; those states pay only in certified care settings. In Michigan and Pennsylvania, the state pays the supplement for people living on their own itself (Michigan: $14.00 a month for one person in 2026, from its own table; Pennsylvania: n/d).
SSA had not published the January 2027 state amounts when we checked on Oct. 27, 2026, so 2027 state parts are n/d. The federal part rises to $1,029.
