Persons eligible for the state optional supplemental program shall receive benefits at a rate approved by the department based on the annual appropriation by the state Legislature. The first payment shall be made in the month the department receives notification from the Social Security Administration that a person is currently receiving SSI payments and meets the eligibility requirements of § 67:12:14:02. Optional supplemental benefits may be paid retroactive to the month of initial SSI eligibility if the client is otherwise eligible, but no retroactive payment may be made for any month prior to the first month of the current state fiscal year.
