Maryland SSI state payment

The short answer

Maryland pays and administers its own supplement.

Maryland's state payment, Public Assistance to Adults, is for assisted living and similar homes. For living at home, ask the local department of social services if any add-on applies. The personal needs allowance is $106 a month as of July 1, 2025.

Call or text 988 any time, day or night.

Call 911 if there is immediate danger.

Independent living

Maryland's state payment, Public Assistance to Adults, is for assisted living and similar homes. For living at home, ask the local department of social services if any add-on applies.

Residential care

Public Assistance to Adults pays the cost of care plus a personal needs allowance in a licensed assisted living facility or a certified adult residential home. In a Department of Health rehabilitative residence, it pays only that allowance. The allowance is $106 a month as of July 1, 2025. It was $102 before that date.

These figures are what the state published. They are not a payment Inaya can promise.

Medicaid in Maryland after an SSI decision is the medical side of this payment. For a loved one living at home, a lease agreement is the page for a fair share of housing.
