The SSP eligibility verification and payment process is usually completed two months following the month of your potential eligibility for an SSP payment. You will receive an SSP payment when all of the eligibility criteria (WAC 388-25-1010) have been verified. Children who have recently received notice of an award for SSI will receive a CA/SSP payment beginning the month the Social Security Administration places them into pay status, if all other eligibility criteria are met for that month.
