The Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) has issued ODPANN 24-124 to provide notice that the Federal Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment will be increasing.

Effective January 2025, the Social Security Administration (SSA) increased the SSI allotment by 2.5 percent to reflect an increase in the cost of living. This raises the maximum monthly income to $967 for an eligible individual, $1,450 for an eligible individual with an eligible spouse, and $484 for an essential person.

There is no anticipated increase in the State Supplementary Payment (SSP) for 2025.

Please see the announcement for further information. If you have any questions, please reach out to your Office of Developmental Programs (ODP) Regional Office.

The Office of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services (OMHSAS), collaborating with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s (SAMHSA) SOAR Technical Assistance Center, offers on-site technical assistance (TA) to communities interested in implementing or expanding the SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) model, aiding individuals at risk of homelessness or returning from institutions in navigating complex benefits systems. The TA, likely occurring in May or June 2024, requires community coordination and commitment. You can also view the one-pager regarding SOAR outcomes and an overview. Providers interested in participating should complete this survey. For any questions, contact Lauren MacWithey.

If you have any further questions, please contact RCPA Policy Director Jim Sharp.

RCPA, with several other health and human services stakeholders, has signed in support of a series of letters written by the Alliance for Low-Income Personal Care Home Advancement (ALPHA) requesting legislators’ support of Governor Wolf’s $50 million increase to state supplemental security income. This increase would work to protect low-income residents in personal care homes from losing their places of residence. You can view one of the letters sent here. Letters were addressed to leaders of both parties in both the PA House and Senate.
