BILLING CODE 8010–01–P

SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION

Supplemental Security Income (SSI) 

Demonstration: Work Incentives for 

Participants in the Florida Freedom 

Initiative

AGENCY: Social Security Administration 

(SSA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: The Commissioner of Social 

Security (the Commissioner) will 

exercise her authority under section 

1110(b) of the Social Security Act to 

conduct a demonstration and is 

publishing this notice in accordance 

with regulations at 20 CFR 416.250(e). 

The demonstration, called Work 

Incentives for Participants in the Florida 

Freedom Initiative, will test whether the 

modification of certain SSI program 

rules fosters greater self-sufficiency 

among SSI beneficiaries participating in 

the Florida Freedom Initiative. The 

Florida Freedom Initiative is a 

demonstration being undertaken by the 

Florida Department of Children and 

Families through a Systems Change 

grant from the Department of Health and 

Human Services (DHHS), Centers for 

Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).

EFFECTIVE DATES: It is anticipated that 

the Florida Freedom Initiative will 

begin no later than March 1, 2004. 

According to the demonstration plan, 

beneficiaries may participate throughout 

the period of the demonstration for up 

to three years. Thus, the anticipated 

ending date for participation will be no 

later than February 28, 2007. In some 

cases, however, the modified SSI 

program rules that the Commissioner is 

creating relative to individual 

development accounts and plans for 

achieving self-support (see below) may 

continue to apply for a limited time 

after an individual’s participation in the 

Florida Freedom Initiative ends.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Stephen Fear by e-mail at 

steve.fear@ssa.gov, by telephone at (410) 

966–0265, or by mail at Social Security 

Administration, Office of Program 

Development and Research, 3516 Annex 

Building, 6401 Security Boulevard, 

Baltimore, MD 21235.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Florida Freedom Initiative and 

Consumer Directed Care Plus 

Demonstrations 

The Florida Freedom Initiative will 

attempt to build on the success of an 

ongoing ‘‘Cash and Counseling’’

demonstration, Consumer Directed Care 

Plus, that the State has been conducting 

with partners that include: CMS, the 

Office of the Assistant Secretary for 

Planning and Evaluation at DHHS, the 

National Program Office at the 

University of Maryland Center on 

Aging, the Robert Wood Johnson 

Foundation, the National Council on 

Aging, and Mathematica Policy 

Research (as the evaluator). 

For Consumer Directed Care Plus, the 

Secretary of DHHS (the Secretary) 

exercised his authority under section 

1115 of the Act to waive certain 

Medicaid program rules. The Medicaid 

waivers permit Medicaid beneficiaries 

using personal-attendant, supportedemployment, or certain other services, 

to receive a cash allowance in lieu of 

those services, along with information 

support that enables them to select and 

purchase the specific services they need 

from providers of their choosing. 

The Commissioner, to enable SSI 

beneficiaries to participate in the 

Consumer Directed Care Plus 

demonstration and to test the effect of 

modified SSI program rules in the 

demonstration’s Medicaid-waiver 

environment, waived SSI rules 

regarding how long an individual can 

retain certain cash received for medical 

and social services before they count 

toward the SSI resources limit. The 

Commissioner also waived SSI rules 

that would require interest earned on 

such retained funds to count as income. 

See 63 FR 58802 (November 2, 1998). 

For the Florida Freedom Initiative, the 

Secretary will expand the types of 

services for which Medicaid 

beneficiaries can receive a cash 

allowance. The demonstration also will 

incorporate, to a greater extent than was 

possible in Consumer Directed Care 

Plus, the principles of selfdetermination, one of which emphasizes 

the generation of personal income 

through work, often through the 

development of a microenterprise. To 

aid in the removal of systemic barriers 

to work that were identified in the 

course of the Consumer Directed Care 

Plus demonstration, the Commissioner 

5644 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 24 / Thursday, February 5, 2004 / Notices 

will provide the following waivers of 

SSI program requirements for the 

Florida Freedom Initiative. 

1. Exclusion From Resources of 

Medicaid Payments Being Saved for the 

Purchase of Medical or Social Services 

and Exclusion From Income and 

Resources of Interest Earned by Such 

Savings

Cash from a government source to pay 

for medical or social services does not 

count as income to an SSI beneficiary 

when received. However, if the cash is 

not reimbursement for expenses already 

paid, and the beneficiary retains it, 

current rules require counting it as a 

resource beginning with the second 

calendar month after the month in 

which is received. See regulations at 20 

CFR 416.1103(a) and (b) and 20 CFR 

416.1201(a)(3). 

The Commissioner is waiving this 

requirement in order to permit 

beneficiaries to save for future 

purchases of medical and social services 

as long as they continue to participate 

in the Florida Freedom Initiative and 

the funds are retained in a form that is 

separately identifiable from other assets. 

Under current rules, any interest earned 

by such savings would count as income 

in the month it is earned and as a 

resource thereafter. The Commissioner 

also is waiving these requirements. The 

Commissioner provided the same 

waivers for the Consumer Directed Care 

Plus demonstration project. 

Cash received for medical or social 

services during participation in the 

demonstration and retained after 

participation in the demonstration ends 

will be excluded from resources for the 

first full calendar month after 

participation ends and will be subject to 

regular SSI resources rules beginning 

with the second full calendar month 

after participation ends. For example, if 

participation in the demonstration were 

to end on February 28, 2007, cash 

received for medical or social services 

prior to that date, if retained, would be 

subject to regular SSI resources rules 

beginning April 2007. Interest earned by 

such cash once it becomes subject to 

regular SSI resources rules is subject to 

regular SSI income rules. 

2. Expansion of Exclusions Related to 

Individual Development Accounts (IDA) 

An IDA is a trust or custodial account 

created to help low-income individuals 

and families save for certain expenses. 

Except for certain emergencies, IDA 

funds can be used only for going to 

college, buying a first home, or starting 

a business. The account holder makes 

deposits to an IDA from his or her 

earned income. Each dollar the account 

holder deposits is matched at rates 

varying from one to eight dollars, 

usually depending on the availability of 

funding. 

Individual development accounts are 

used in two Federal programs: 

temporary assistance to needy families 

(TANF) and an Assets for Independence 

Act (AFIA) demonstration program. In 

these programs, matching contributions 

are drawn from a combination of TANF 

funds or AFIA grant monies and entities 

such as foundations and Community 

Development Credit Unions. Federal 

matching dollars are limited to $2,000 

per individual or $4,000 per household 

over the five-year life of the IDA 

demonstration program. 

Section 415 of the AFIA (title IV of 

Pub. L. 105–285 as amended by section 

610 of Pub. L. 106–55, App. A) and 

section 404(h)(4) of the Social Security 

Act provide that funds in an AFIA or 

TANF IDA are to be disregarded in 

determinations of eligibility for, or the 

amount of, a Federal benefit that takes 

into account financial circumstances. 

SSA thus excludes these IDAs when it 

determines whether someone’s 

resources exceed the SSI limit. It also 

excludes matching contributions when 

it determines countable income, and 

deducts the beneficiary’s own deposits 

from countable income. As a result, SSI 

benefits allow the beneficiary to meet 

living expenses while saving for the 

specified qualifying purposes. 

Numerous non-federally supported 

IDA or ‘‘IDA-like’’ programs have 

emerged nationwide. These other 

programs usually adopt AFIA IDA 

program rules, but permit an individual 

to save for one or more purposes, such 

as transportation or assistive 

technology, in addition to the three 

mentioned above. Under current SSI 

program rules, the exclusions that apply 

to federally supported IDAs do not 

extend to these programs. For the 

Florida Freedom Initiative, the 

Commissioner will extend the 

exclusions to these other programs, 

subject to her approval of their rules. 

To ensure that participants are able to 

benefit fully from the savings 

opportunity afforded by an IDA, the 

exclusions related to IDAs, other than 

those accounts involving AFIA grant 

monies or Federal TANF dollars, will 

continue to apply until the individual’s 

participation in the IDA program has 

ended, in accordance with the IDA 

program’s rules. It thus is possible that 

such IDA exclusions will continue for a 

limited time after participation in the 

Florida Freedom Initiative ends. 

3. Increased Exclusion for Earned 

Income 

Social Security Act section 1612(b)(3) 

and 20 ́CFR 416.1112 provide for 

excluding the first $65 a month, plus 

half the remainder of earned income not 

previously excluded by other 

provisions. To further encourage work 

and earnings, SSA will exclude the first 

$280 of earned income, and half of any 

earnings over that amount, for SSI 

beneficiaries participating in the Florida 

Freedom Initiative. 

The exclusion of the first $280 

(instead of $65) of an individual’s 

earnings each month ends with the 

month in which his or her participation 

in the Florida Freedom Initiative 

demonstration project ends.

4. Modified Goal for a Plan for 

Achieving Self-Support (PASS) 

Under current rules, although 

education can be part of a PASS, the 

PASS must in all cases specify an 

occupational goal (Social Security Act 

section 1633 and 20 CFR 416.1181). For 

the Florida Freedom Initiative, SSA will 

approve an otherwise satisfactory PASS 

that specifies postsecondary education 

as its goal, as long as the PASS includes 

a step for specifying a work goal at least 

six months prior to completion of 

course requirements. 

A PASS, with a goal of postsecondary 

education, should take into account the 

time it ordinarily would take the 

individual to complete the coursework 

involved. Approval of such a PASS will 

not require that the coursework be 

completed before the Florida Freedom 

Initiative ends. A PASS approved as 

part of the Work Incentives for 

Participants in the Florida Freedom 

Initiative demonstration subsequently 

will be treated like any other PASS. 

5. Suspension of Continuing Disability 

Reviews (CDR) 

Section 221(i) of the Act requires that 

SSA periodically review medical and/or 

other evidence to determine whether an 

individual continues to meet the 

requirements for benefits, and section 

1633(c.) contemplates that SSA will 

undertake similar reviews with respect 

to SSI recipients. Our regulations at 20 

CFR 416.989, 416.989(a) and 416.990 

explain when we will conduct these 

CDRs for SSI recipients. If the evidence 

shows that the individual no longer 

meets these requirements, benefits stop. 

The Commissioner will suspend CDRs 

for Florida Freedom Initiative 

participants while they are participating 

in the project. 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 24 / Thursday, February 5, 2004 / Notices 5645

Objectives of the Work Incentives for 

Participants in the Florida Freedom 

Initiative Demonstration 

Through Work Incentives for 

Participants in the Florida Freedom 

Initiative, the Commissioner will: 

• Support the efforts of CMS, the 

State of Florida, and other partners to 

conduct the Florida Freedom Initiative; 

• Further test the appropriateness of 

current SSI rules requiring that cash 

received for the purchase of medical or 

social services be counted as a resource 

if retained for more than one calendar 

month after the month of receipt; 

• Empower Florida Freedom 

Initiative participants to use their 

earnings to save toward purchasing a 

home, capitalizing a small business or 

micro-enterprise, attending college, or 

other approved purpose; e.g., the 

purchase of assistive technology or 

transportation; 

• Permit a determination of whether 

the combination of altered policies and 

procedures used for the Florida 

Freedom Initiative can generate SSI 

and/or Medicaid program savings by 

more effectively enabling participants to 

maximize their self-sufficiency. 

SSA will work with CMS and the 

State of Florida to develop appropriate 

measurements for these objectives and 

to make arrangements for necessary data 

collection. 

Additional Background: Cash Received 

for Medical or Social Services 

Section 1612(a) of the Act defines 

income for purposes of the SSI program, 

while section 1612(b) specifies 

exclusions from income. As explained 

in regulations at 20 CFR 416.1102, 

income includes anything an individual 

receives in cash or in kind that can be 

used to meet food, clothing, and shelter 

needs. Regulations at 20 CFR 

416.1103(a)(3) and (b)(1) explain that 

assistance provided in cash or in kind 

under a Federal, State, or local 

government program, whose purpose is 

to provide medical care or services or 

social services, including vocational 

rehabilitation, is not income. 

Section 1613 of the Act specifies 

exclusions from resources for purposes 

of the SSI program. Regulations at 20 

CFR 416.1201(a) define resources as 

cash, or other liquid assets, or any real 

or personal property, that an individual 

(or spouse) owns and could convert to 

cash to be used for support and 

maintenance. Regulations at 20 CFR 

416.1207(d) explain that items received 

in cash or in kind during a month are 

evaluated first under the rules for 

counting income. If they are retained 

until the first moment of the following 

month, they then are evaluated under 

the rules for counting resources. 

Regulations at 20 CFR 416.1201(a)(3) 

explain that, except for reimbursement 

of expenses already paid, cash an 

individual receives for medical or social 

services, that is neither income under 20 

CFR 416.1103(a) or (b) nor a retroactive 

cash payment excluded from deeming 

under 20 CFR 416.1161(a)(16), is not a 

resource for the calendar month 

following the month of its receipt if it 

is separately identifiable from other 

resources. If retained after that time, it 

becomes a countable resource. 

SSI regulations recognize that cash 

payments made specifically to enable 

people to pay for medical or social 

services are not income for SSI purposes 

because they are assumed to not be 

available for support and maintenance. 

Recognizing that the recipient is not 

always able to use the cash for payment 

for medical or social services in the 

month of receipt, SSI regulations 

provide for not counting as resources 

any cash received to pay for medical 

and social services which is retained 

one full calendar month following the 

month of receipt, so long as it is 

separately identifiable from other 

resources. The rule permitting not 

counting such cash as resources does 

not encompass cash received as 

reimbursement for medical or social 

service bills the individual has already 

paid. The rule which permits not 

counting cash as resources, if retained 

into the month following the month of 

receipt, is consistent with the purpose 

of the SSI program, which is to meet the 

current needs of beneficiaries for food, 

clothing and shelter. 

Additional Background: Plans for 

Achieving Self-Support 

Sections 1612(b)(4) and 1613(a)(4) of 

the Act provide for excluding such 

income and resources of an individual, 

if he or she has a plan for achieving selfsupport approved by the Commissioner, 

as may be necessary for the fulfillment 

of such plan. A plan for achieving selfsupport, or PASS, is a self-directed plan 

in which individuals identify: 

• The job they want or business they 

want to start; 

• what they need in order to achieve 

their goal, such as training or education, 

transportation, assistive technology or 

business inventory, and how much it 

will cost; and 

• the income or assets they will use 

for these expenses, such as savings, 

wages from an existing job, or Social 

Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) 

benefits. 

Several ‘‘ownership’’ factors make the 

PASS program a particularly effective 

work incentive. There is a personal 

investment in the attainment of plan 

goals because the individuals 

themselves create those goals and use 

their own income or assets to pay for 

expenses, although SSI benefits replace 

those funds. Although the plan must be 

realistic, and expenses must be 

reasonable, the individuals themselves 

decide what goods, equipment, services, 

training, and education they will 

purchase, and from whom, in order to 

reach their goals. 

A PASS can help an individual pay 

for expenses such as: 

• PASS preparation fees, which can 

include the cost of vocational 

evaluations and similar assessments; 

• education or training, including 

tuition, books, supplies, and associated 

fees and costs, such as fees for tutoring, 

testing, and counseling; 

• meals and lodging while 

temporarily absent from one’s 

permanent residence to attend 

educational, training, employment, 

trade, or business activities, if there is 

also a cost associated with maintaining 

the permanent residence; 

• transportation, including the lease, 

rental, or purchase of a vehicle and 

associated costs for fuel, insurance, 

maintenance, registration, taxes, etc., 

modifications to a vehicle, the hire of 

private or commercial carriers, and the 

hire of someone to drive one’s vehicle; 

• business start-up costs, including 

equipment, supplies, operating capital, 

and inventory required to establish and 

carry on a trade or business; 

• assistive technology, including 

assistive technology mobility devices 

(power chairs and scooters) and/or 

upgrades; 

• modifications to buildings for 

operational or access purposes for 

persons with disabilities; 

• childcare; 

• attendant care; 

• basic living skills training; 

• dues and subscription costs for 

publications for academic or 

professional purposes; 

• equipment and tools, including 

safety equipment, whether specific to 

the individual’s condition or designed 

for use by someone who does not have 

a disability; 

• job coaching/counseling services; 

• uniforms, specialized clothing, 

safety equipment, and appropriate 

attire, such as suits or dresses needed 

for job interviews or to begin working in 

an office or professional setting; and 

• job search or relocation expenses.

If approved, a PASS can help SSI 

beneficiaries pay for these and other 

expenses in a number of ways: 

• First, SSA excludes income and 

resources that will be used for plan 

5646 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 24 / Thursday, February 5, 2004 / Notices 

expenses when it determines SSI 

eligibility and payment amount. In some 

cases, this permits SSI eligibility where 

it would otherwise not exist. 

• Eligibility for SSI generally results 

in eligibility for Medicaid, as well. 

Medicaid can cover the cost of 

medicines and other items not presently 

covered by Medicare. 

• If an individual is eligible for SSI, 

a PASS may permit a higher benefit. 

• Income excluded under a PASS also 

is excluded from consideration in 

determinations of eligibility for Food 

Stamps and Federal housing assistance. 

An important way in which a PASS 

can help pay for a major purchase is by 

its use to obtain and pay off a loan. 

People with disabilities who have little 

income or credit rarely have the option 

to save for a major purchase or obtain 

financing. Approval of a PASS that has 

loan payments built into it has made it 

possible for some individuals to obtain 

financing for major purchases. This can 

have the added advantage of enabling 

someone to establish or rebuild credit, 

which can be critical to running a 

business. 

Who May Participate in the Work 

Incentives for Participants in the 

Florida Freedom Initiative 

Demonstration? 

To take part in the Work Incentives 

for Participants in the Florida Freedom 

Initiative, an individual must be 

receiving SSI benefits based on 

disability or blindness and be enrolled 

in the Florida Freedom Initiative 

demonstration. 

Consent Required 

The consent of an SSI beneficiary to 

participate in this demonstration project 

is required under section 1110(b)(2)(b) 

of the Act and 20 CFR 416.250(d). The 

State of Florida will obtain written 

consent from every participant who is 

an SSI beneficiary. The consent will 

ensure that participation is voluntary 

and participants will be informed that 

they can stop participating at any time. 

New or Additional Program Costs 

We anticipate that the Work 

Incentives for Participants in the Florida 

Freedom Initiative demonstration will 

involve no, or minimal, new or 

additional program costs to the Federal 

government under title XVI of the Act 

or to the State of Florida under section 

1616 of the Act. If the Commissioner 

decided not to exercise her authority 

under section 1110(b) of the Act to 

provide the waivers described in this 

announcement, we believe that few if 

any SSI beneficiaries would participate 

in the Florida Freedom Initiative since 

to do so could result in a reduction or 

loss of SSI benefits. Continued SSI 

eligibility for beneficiaries who choose 

to participate in the demonstration 

project is not a new or additional cost 

related to the Commissioner’s 

demonstration project. 

Statutory and Regulatory Provisions 

Waived: The Commissioner waives for 

the duration of an individual’s 

participation in the Cash and 

Counseling demonstration project 

certain SSI resources counting rules 

where application of those rules would 

otherwise affect the eligibility of an 

individual for SSI. The specific 

statutory and regulatory provisions 

waived are those described in the 

preceding section.

Authority: Section 1110(b) of the Social 

Security Act.
