State supplements under SSI spousal deeming should compare individual and couple state computations (POMS SI 01320.430) #10149
POMS SI 01320.430 D.1–D.3 covers an eligible individual living with an ineligible spouse when deeming applies. It says the state supplement is computed separately on an individual basis and on a couple basis, and the state then applies its own lesser-of comparison. 20 CFR 416.1163(d)(2)(iii) points to 416.2025(b).
Reviewer's example for Delaware (2026), not yet re-run: the claimant has no income, and the ineligible spouse has a pension of $1,531 a month. Combined countable income is $1,511, which leaves a federal shortfall of $20. The model pays $120. The state comparison gives min(140, 448 − 20) = $140.
Tasks:
Check the example against Delaware's parameters.
Implement both bases and the comparison for each state.
Add YAML cases with values hand-computed from POMS and each state's payment levels.
