Description SA is an SSI state supplement entitlement program which provides a direct cash payment to assist with the cost of care in adult care homes. Eligible recipients are low-income elderly and disabled adults who, based on a doctor's statement, require assistance with their daily living activities in a residential setting. SA recipients in adult care homes are entitled to Medicaid to help cover their medical costs. Some individuals, through the SA In-Home Program, who meet the criteria for residential placement may receive a payment to enable them to receive care in their homes. SA In-Home recipients must qualify for Medicaid separately. The Medicaid costs are not displayed in this report.
