The amount of supplemental payment made to persons who meet the eligibility requirements for and receive federal supplemental security income payments shall be in an amount, as established by rule and regulation of the family support division, sufficient to, when added to all other income, equal the amount of cash income received in December, 1973; except, in establishing the amount of the supplemental payments, there shall be disregarded cost-of-living increases provided for in Titles II and XVI of the federal Social Security Act and any benefits or income required to be disregarded by an act of Congress of the United States or any regulation duly promulgated thereunder. As long as the recipient continues to receive a supplemental security income payment, the supplemental payment shall not be reduced. The minimum supplemental payment for those persons who continue to meet the December, 1973, eligibility standards for aid to the blind shall be in an amount which, when added to the federal supplemental security income payment, equals the amount of the blind pension grant as provided for in chapter 209.

5. The family support division shall make monthly payments to persons age twenty-one or over who meet the eligibility requirements in effect on December 31, 1973, or less restrictive requirements as established by rule or regulation of the family support division, who were receiving old age assistance, permanent and total disability assistance, general relief assistance, or aid to the blind assistance lawfully, who are not eligible for nursing home care under the Title XIX program, and who reside in a licensed residential care facility, a licensed assisted living facility, a licensed intermediate care facility or a licensed skilled nursing facility in Missouri and whose total cash income is not sufficient to pay the amount charged by the facility; and to all applicants age twenty-one or over who are not eligible for nursing home care under the Title XIX program who are residing in a licensed residential care facility, a licensed assisted living facility, a licensed intermediate care facility or a licensed skilled nursing facility in Missouri, who make application after December 31, 1973, provided they meet the eligibility standards for old age assistance, permanent and total disability assistance, general relief assistance, or aid to the blind assistance in effect on December 31, 1973, or less restrictive requirements as established by rule or regulation of the family support division, who are bona fide residents of the state of Missouri, and whose total cash income is not sufficient to pay the amount charged by the facility.

No intermediate care or skilled nursing payment shall be made to a person residing in a licensed intermediate care facility or in a licensed skilled nursing facility unless such person has been determined, by his or her own physician or doctor, to medically need such services subject to review and approval by the department. Residential care payments may be made to persons residing in licensed intermediate care facilities or licensed skilled nursing facilities. Any person eligible to receive a monthly payment pursuant to this subsection shall receive an additional monthly payment equal to the Medicaid vendor nursing facility personal needs allowance. The exact amount of the additional payment shall be determined by rule of the department. This additional payment shall not be used to pay for any supplies or services, or for any other items that would have been paid for by the family support division if that person would have been receiving medical assistance benefits under Title XIX of the federal Social Security Act for nursing home services pursuant to the provisions of section 208.159. Notwithstanding the previous part of this subsection, the person eligible shall not receive this additional payment if such eligible person is receiving funds for personal expenses from some other state or federal program.
