# §416.413. Amount of benefits; qualified individual.


The benefit under this part for a qualified individual (defined in [§ 416.221](/cfr/20/416.221.md)) is payable at the rate for an eligible individual or eligible couple plus an increment for each essential person (defined in [§ 416.222](/cfr/20/416.222.md)) in the household, reduced by the amount of countable income of the eligible individual or eligible couple as explained in [§ 416.420](/cfr/20/416.420.md). A qualified individual will receive an increment of $2,820 per year ($235 per month), effective for the period beginning January 1, 1996. This rate is the result of the 2.6 percent cost-of-living adjustment (see [§ 416.405](/cfr/20/416.405.md)) to the December 1995 rate, and is for each essential person (as defined in [§ 416.222](/cfr/20/416.222.md)) living in the household of a qualified individual. (See [§ 416.532](/cfr/20/416.532.md).) For the period January 1, through December 31, 1995, the rate payable, as increased by the 2.8 percent cost-of-living adjustment, was $2,748 per year ($229 per month). For the period January 1, through December 31, 1994, the rate payable, as increased by the 2.6 percent cost-of-living adjustment, was $2,676 per year ($223 per month). The total benefit rate, including the increment, is reduced by the amount of the individual's or couple's income that is not excluded pursuant to [subpart K](/cfr/20/subpartK.md) of this part.
