State Supplemental Payment Seniors who receive Supplemental Security Income&nbsp;have the option to apply for California’s state supplemental payment. This payment is intended to top-up SSI&nbsp;payments and provides seniors with additional cash to pay for necessities such as room and board in assisted living facilities. The senior’s income determines the benefit amount, which has a maximum of $160.72 a month.&nbsp; The financial eligibility requirements of this benefit change often, so it’s best for seniors who are interested in applying to contact their local Social Security office in person or call (800) 772-1213.

Typically, the policyholder must pay a yearly deductible. While eligibility and policy terms vary depending on the plan and provider, most insurance companies won’t offer policies to those who are already in poor health and require daily care. The amount of coverage purchased,&nbsp;as well as the policyholder’s age and health history,&nbsp;&nbsp;generally determine&nbsp;premiums.

California’s Medicaid Managed Care Program is called&nbsp;Medi-Cal. The program provides financial assistance and services to seniors who reside in assisted living facilities under one of two waivers: The Assisted Living Waiver and the Multipurpose Senior Services Program.&nbsp; To be eligible for these waiver programs, seniors must be at least 65 years of age and require daily nursing care. They must also be able to live safely within an assisted living community. Financial eligibility requirements stipulate that individuals may not earn more than $1,242 per month and may not own more than $2,000 in assets. Couples may not earn more than $1,682 per month and may not own more than $3,000 in assets.&nbsp; Assisted Living Waiver For those who reside in an assisted living facility, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/pages/assistedlivingwaiver.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/pages/assistedlivingwaiver.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">Assisted Living Waiver</a> is their best chance at receiving Medicaid assistance. This waiver helps seniors who require regular nursing care yet choose to continue living in an assisted living facility. It covers the cost of services in an assisted living facility as well as additional support services such as nonmedical transportation, nurse visits and case management.&nbsp; To apply for this program, seniors can&nbsp;contact their&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Documents/Care-Coordination-Agencies-2018.pdf" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/ltc/Documents/Care-Coordination-Agencies-2018.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer">nearest care coordination agency</a>&nbsp;in person or by telephone.&nbsp; Multipurpose Senior Services Program California’s <a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/MSSPMedi-CalWaiver.aspx#services" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/services/medi-cal/Pages/MSSPMedi-CalWaiver.aspx#services" rel="noopener noreferrer">Multipurpose Senior Services program</a>&nbsp;is a waiver program that’s managed under the Medi-Cal Managed Care Program. MSSP&nbsp;was created to decrease the load on the Medicaid system in the state by reducing the number of seniors who require care in nursing homes, which in California are quite expensive. Seniors who participate in this program are generally those who need a nursing level of care but prefer to continue living at home or in an assisted living facility. The program may provide a number of services in addition to assisted living or home care such as nurse visits, occupational or physical therapy, nonmedical transportation and adult companions. The MSSP&nbsp;only accepts 12,000 participants at one time, so there’s usually a waiting list.&nbsp; To apply for the MSSP, seniors can contact&nbsp;the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/Pages/contact_us.aspx" target="_blank" data-mce-href="https://www.dhcs.ca.gov/Pages/contact_us.aspx" rel="noopener noreferrer">California Department of Health Care Services</a>&nbsp;at (415) 206-5317.&nbsp;
