The Residential State Supplement (RSS) program provides a monetary supplement to low-income adults with disabilities who do not require nursing home care. The supplement, along with the consumer's income, pays for an approved living arrangement.
With the passage of H.B. 153, Ohio's 2012-2013 biennial operating budget, RSS officially transferred from the Ohio Department of Aging to the Ohio Department of Mental Health (ODMH), effective July 1, 2011. During this transition every effort is being made to ensure continuity for residents' payments and placements. As information about the program becomes available it will be distributed via ODMH's RSS web page.
