DC SSI state payment

The short answer

For January 2026, independent living adds $0.

Adult foster care with 50 or fewer residents adds $681 a month for one person. A larger adult foster home adds $791. A Medicaid facility adds $79, for a total payment of $109.

Call or text 988 any time, day or night.

Call 911 if there is immediate danger.

Where the payment applies

Social Security administers this DC payment. A person living independently, or in someone else's household under the federal living arrangement for that situation, does not get a DC add-on. The state supplement level for that code is $0.

The add-on is for adult foster care or a Medicaid facility. Social Security uses a certification from the DC Department of Health for the adult foster care codes. These amounts are the state supplement levels in the January 2026 chart, not a payment Inaya can promise.

One person, January 2026

  • Independent living: $0 state supplement. Total federal payment level $994.
  • Adult foster care, 50 or fewer residents: $681 state supplement. Total $1,675.
  • Adult foster care, more than 50 residents: $791 state supplement. Total $1,785.
  • Medicaid facility: $79 state supplement. Total payment $109.

Medicaid in DC after an SSI decision is the medical side of this payment. Someone living at home does not get this add-on. A lease agreement is the page for that situation.
