Federal regulations require that welfare clients cannot receive both the Special Age-72 Benefit and a public assistance payment. Rule A-4232 requires that all available income to a client (or applicant) must be sought by the client or applicant.
SSA must receive assurance from the County Departments of Social/Human Services that as of a certain date no further assistance payments (including $50 personal needs allowance) will be paid to the client.
When a county has authorized a nursing facility placement for a person over 72 years of age, who is eligible for a Prouty Benefit, Social Security must be notified.
