Nevada SSI supplement
Nevada adds a small state payment to SSI for people 65 and older and people who are blind.
In 2026 it is $36.40 a month for one older person living on their own and $74.46 for an older couple, paid in the same check as your SSI. Older people in a state-certified domiciliary care home may get $391 a month.

How Nevada is different
Where Nevada's rules differ from the federal rules for State SSI supplements.
- Paid in the same check as your SSI; you don't apply separately
- People who get SSI because of a disability, and aren't 65 or blind, get no Nevada supplement
Good to know
- You may get the state supplement even if your income is a little too high for federal SSI, as long as it is below the combined SSI and state amount
- An older person living in someone else's household gets $24.27 a month.
