South Carolina OSS: require SSI's citizen or qualified-noncitizen test (S.C. Code Regs. 126-920) #10545
Description
Problem
South Carolina's Optional State Supplementation requires the person to meet SSI's eligibility criteria (S.C. Code Regs. 126-920(A)(4)-(5)). sc_ssi_state_supplement_eligible has no SSI citizen or qualified-noncitizen test.
The example below is from the review of #10240. An undocumented aged resident of a community residential care facility, with a $900 a month pension:
| Branch | OSS |
|---|---|
main |
$1,804 |
| #10240 | $924 (the pension now counts) |
| The regulation | $0 |
Proposed fix
Require citizenship or SSI qualified-noncitizen status (is_ssi_qualified_noncitizen) in sc_ssi_state_supplement_eligible, the same as SSI's own test. Then add a case with an undocumented resident who gets $0.
