These programs provide financial help for Colorado residents with low incomes who cannot work because of a disability:
- Aid to the Needy Disabled (AND): For people ages 18 to 59 with a disability lasting at least six months.
- Aid to the Blind (AB): For people under age 60 who are blind or have a disability lasting at least six months. The program’s goal is to provide interim financial assistance while waiting for approval of Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Medical assistance is not provided under this program.
Both programs will provide up to $200 per month. However, other income, such as wages, may reduce the benefit amount paid. Benefits will begin one month after all eligibility requirements have been met and can be accessed using a provided Quest (EBT) Card.
