469 NAC 2-010.01B6c(1)
A client must be referred to SSI if:
1. The client lives alone and has monthly unearned income less than the referral amount for an individual (see 469-000-211);
2. An eligible couple are living together and have monthly unearned income less than the referral amount for a couple (see 469-000-211); or
Note: Both must apply for SSI.
3. An individual is in a nursing home and has unearned income of less than $50 per month.
Exception: If income is less than these amounts but resources are more than 469 NAC 2-009.08 and less than 469 NAC 4-005.01, the worker does not make an SSI referral but must consider eligibility for medical assistance.
All individuals otherwise eligible must be approved for a state supplement without waiting for SSI's determination.
The client must sign Form IM-17 and the worker must send it to Social Security if a state supplemental payment is issued while the SSI determination is pending.
