commitment to meeting the income needs of aged, blind and disabled
persons who are receiving basic supplemental security income benefits or
whose income and resources, though above the standard of need for the
supplemental security income program, is not sufficient to meet those
needs. In order to maintain assistance for such persons at a level
consistent with their needs, and in order to fully employ available
federal aid for the benefit of such persons residing in this state,
there is hereby established a state-wide program of additional state
payments for aged, blind and disabled persons.
