A client or an essential person in the Supplemental Security Income Program (SSI) is not included in the ADC/MA budget.
If a child is eligible to receive both ADC/MA and SSI, the payee or responsible caretaker of the child must select one of the programs. The worker must inform the payee or responsible caretaker of the benefits available under each program so that the choice of a program can be made in the best interest of the child. The worker must refer individuals to the Social Security Office when appropriate.
