Under the supplemental security income program, federally administered payments amounting to $24.7 million were made in March 1976 to 107,000 persons who were residing in domiciliary care facilities and under other supervised living arrangements. These persons were unable to function under totally independent living arrangements but did not require medical or nursing care on a regular basis. Of the total, $9.5 million was represented in Federal SSI payments and $15.2 million came from optional State supplements--with California paying $6.2 million and New York $4.6 million. The average payment to the residents of these facilities was $232 a month. Comparable data for four States show greater caseload growth for persons in domiciliary care facilities and under other supervised living arrangements than for the total SSI population. Nearly two-thirds of the States are adding funds to Federal SSI payments for persons under such care. Data are available, however, only from Social Security Administration program records for those States that have elected Federal administration of their optional programs.
根据补充保障收入计划，1976年3月向居住在住所护理机构及其他受监管生活安排下的10.7万人发放了总计2470万美元的联邦管理款项。这些人无法在完全独立的生活安排下自理，但并不需要定期接受医疗或护理。其中，联邦补充保障收入支付了950万美元，1520万美元来自各州的补充款项，其中加利福尼亚州支付了620万美元，纽约州支付了460万美元。这些机构居民的平均月支付额为232美元。四个州的可比数据显示，住所护理机构及其他受监管生活安排下的人员案件量增长幅度高于补充保障收入总人口。近三分之二的州正在为接受此类护理的人员增加联邦补充保障收入款项。然而，只有选择由联邦管理其可选计划的州才有社会保障管理计划记录中的数据。
