# §408.505. How do we determine the amount of your SVB payment?

- (a) **Maximum SVB payment.** The maximum monthly SVB payment is equal to 75% of the FBR for an individual under title XVI of the Act. See [§ 416.410](/cfr/20/416.410.md) of this chapter.
- (b) **Cost-of-living adjustments in the FBR.** The maximum SVB amount will increase whenever there is a cost-of-living increase in the SSI FBR under the provisions of [§ 416.405](/cfr/20/416.405.md) of this chapter. The basic SVB amount following such an increase is equal to 75 percent of the increased FBR.
- (c) **When we will reduce the amount of your basic benefit.** We will reduce your basic benefit by the amount of the other benefit income you receive in that month, as explained in [§ 408.510](/cfr/20/408.510.md).

# §408.510. How do we reduce your SVB when you receive other benefit income?

- (a) **Amount of the reduction.** If you receive other benefit income as defined in [§ 408.220](/cfr/20/408.220.md), we will reduce your SVB payment by the amount of the other benefit income you receive in that month. The reduction is on a dollar-for-dollar and cents-for-cents basis. We do not round SVB payment amounts except as described in [paragraph (b)](#b) of this section.
- (b) **Minimum benefit amount.** If the reduction described in [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section results in a benefit amount that is greater than zero but less than $1.00, we will pay you a benefit of $1.00 for that month.
