# §408.1220. How do we pay Federally administered State recognition payments?

- (a) **Payment procedures.** We make Federally administered State recognition payments on a monthly basis and we include them in the same check as your SVB payment. The State recognition payment is for the same month as your SVB payment.
- (b) **Maximum amount.** Except as specified in [paragraph (c)](#c) of this section, there is no restriction on the amount of a State recognition payment that SSA will administer on behalf of a State.
- (c) **Minimum amount.** SSA will not administer State recognition payments in amounts less than $1 per month. Hence, recognition payment amounts of less than $1 will be raised to a dollar.
