Sec. 416.261  What are special SSI cash benefits and when are they payable.

    Special SSI cash benefits are benefits that we may pay you in lieu 
of regular SSI benefits because your gross earned income in a month of 
initial eligibility for regular SSI benefits exceeds the amount 
ordinarily considered to represent SGA under Sec. 416.974(b)(2). You 
must meet the eligibility requirements in Sec. 416.262 in order to 
receive special SSI cash benefits. Special SSI cash benefits are not 
payable for any month in which your countable income exceeds the limits 
established for the SSI program (see subpart K of this part). If you are 
eligible for special SSI cash benefits, we consider you to be a disabled 
individual receiving SSI benefits for purposes of eligibility for 
Medicaid. We compute the amount of special SSI

cash benefits according to the rules in subpart D of this part. If your 
State makes supplementary payments which we administer under a Federal-
State agreement, and if your State elects to supplement the special SSI 
cash benefits, the rules in subpart T of this part will apply to these 
payments.
