About Social Security Offices & Benefit Rules in Washington DC
Regional Jurisdiction & Scope

Washington DC provides a State Supplementary Payment (SSP) on top of federal SSI, administered directly by the Social Security Administration alongside your federal benefit in a single payment.
Medicaid & Health Coverage Integration
Washington DC automatically enrolls SSI recipients in Medicaid (DC Medicaid) — approval for SSI means approval for Medicaid too, with no separate application needed.
