<h2>State Supplementation</h2>
<h3>Mandatory Minimum Supplementation</h3>
<p>No recipients.</p>
<h3>Optional State Supplementation</h3>
<p><span class="h4">Administration:</span> State Department of Human Services, Seniors, and People with Disabilities Division (state-administered in local offices).</p>
<p><span class="h4">Effective date:</span> January&nbsp;1, 1974.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Statutory basis for payment:</span> Oregon Revised Statutes&nbsp;411.120.</p>
<h4>Funding</h4>
<p><span class="h5">Administration:</span> State funds.</p>
<p><span class="h5">Assistance:</span> State funds.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Passalong method:</span> Maintaining total expenditures.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Place of application:</span> Local offices of the Department of Human Services and local offices of county and local government.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Scope of coverage:</span> Optional state supplement provided to all <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> recipients residing in the specified living arrangements. Blind children are eligible for state supplementation; disabled children under age&nbsp;18 are ineligible.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Resource limitations:</span> Federal <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> limitations used, except that the transfer of a home may render a person ineligible after 60&nbsp;months from the date of application per the Deficit Reduction Act.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Income exclusions:</span> Federal <abbr class="spell">SSI</abbr> earned and unearned income exclusions used.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Recoveries, liens, and assignments:</span> Assistance paid constitutes an unsecured prior claim against property or any interest therein belonging to the estate of a recipient except such portion as is being occupied as a home by the spouse, minor dependent child, or parent of deceased recipient. The Department of Human Services may compromise claim by accepting other security or may waive payment when enforcement would be inequitable and would tend to defeat the purpose of public assistance law.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Financial responsibility of relatives:</span> None.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Interim assistance:</span> State participates.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Payment calculation method:</span> The state issues a standard supplement of $1.70 to aged individuals, $26.70 to blind individuals, and $25.00 to blind couples living independently or in the household of another.</p>
<p><span class="h4">Payment levels:</span> See Table&nbsp;1.</p>
