Residential State Supplement (RSS) provides a monetary supplement to low-income adults with disabilities who do not require nursing home care. The supplement, along with the consumer's income, pays for an approved living arrangement.

You may be eligible for RSS if you:

• Are 18 years of age or older;
• Do not need 24-hour supervision;
• Require a residential placement and support services;
• Meet financial eligibility;
• Require a protective level of care; and
• Require less than 120 days of skilled nursing care.

RSS benefits include:

• Medicaid;
• Residential case management;
• A monthly cash supplement to assist with the payment of room and board;
• Services available at a licensed or certified home (e.g., housekeeping, laundry, transportation and security); and
• A monthly personal needs allowance of $50.00.

RSS participants must live in a certified Adult Foster Home, licensed Adult Family Home, licensed Adult Group Home, licensed Residential Care Facility, certified Community Mental Health Housing or licensed Mental Health Residential Facility.
