Minnesota adds $9/month to the federal SSI payment for an eligible individual, bringing the combined total to roughly $976/month before countable income is deducted. It's the smallest supplement of any of the 14 states that provide one — but it's still an amount that many states, particularly across the South and parts of the Midwest, don't offer at all.
How the Combined Total Works
The federal SSI baseline for 2026 is $967/month for an individual. Minnesota's $9 supplement, while modest, applies statewide regardless of whether you live in the Twin Cities metro area or a smaller rural community elsewhere in the state.
💡 SSDI is calculated purely from your earnings record and does not vary by state. Only SSI carries Minnesota's small state supplement.
The Smallest Supplement That Still Counts
Minnesota's $9 monthly supplement is easy to overlook next to states offering $100 or more, but the more relevant comparison is against states offering nothing at all — a group that includes several of Minnesota's neighbors. For SSI applicants trying to understand their full expected monthly amount, even a small state supplement is worth accounting for precisely.
