Section 207. Declaration of purpose

The legislature hereby declares its
  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.
