OSS Y applies when a recipient is eligible for state supplementation, but waives the
right to receive it.
Example:
Ryan Stackhouse does not want to receive state supplementation and signs a statement
waiving Ryan's right to receive it. The FO explains that Ryan will only remain eligible
for SSI in California as long as Ryan's countable income does not equal or exceed
the Federal Benefit Rate (FBR). In addition, the FO explains that waiving state supplementation
will not affect Medi-Cal eligibility as long as Ryan remains federally-eligible for
SSI and that Ryan will not become eligible for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP). Ryan acknowledges that Ryan understands, but still wishes to waive
receipt of state supplementation.
Ryan currently lives alone and is in Federal living arrangement (FLA) A. Beginning
with the month Ryan chooses to no longer receive state supplementation, Ryan's living
arrangement is FLA A/OSS Y.
