If the beneficiary remains in the health institution for a longer period than expected, the SSA terminates or reduces the SSI payment as appropriate.B. SSI payments for adults with disabilities who are working and qualify for Section 1619(b) of Title XX, may receive up to two (2) months of continuing SSI benefits when admitted to a health institution if there is an expectation that the beneficiary will continue to work or resume working within the sixty (60) day period.210 R.I.
