Which States Pay the SSI Supplement? Every state except Arizona, North Dakota, and West Virginia currently pays a state supplement to its disabled residents who receive SSI.
Some States supplement the Federal SSI benefit with additional payments. This makes the total SSI benefit levels higher in those States. SSI benefit amounts and State supplemental payment amounts vary based upon your income, living arrangements, and other factors.
