Qualified residents can receive up to $879.90 for AFCHs and $1,122.32 for ALRs. Resident income is subtracted from the maximum payment, although a personal needs allowance is applied.
West Virginia does allow for family supplementation. This means that family members can contribute to a resident's expenses without affecting their SSI benefits or Medicaid, although restrictions apply. Be sure to contact a Medicaid expert in West Virginia to learn more about family supplementation.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Be 65 years or older or adults with disabilities living in a supported-living setting who have WV-10 SSI (supplemental security income) approval are eligible. Those not qualified for SSI but receiving the state assistance payment are also eligible.
