Supplemental Aid to the Blind and Blind Pension Adjustments Effective July 1, 2003, the maximum cash grant for Supplemental Aid to the Blind and Blind Pension increases to $470.00. Use the new maximum of $470.00 for all SAB and BP IMU5 transactions beginning June 30, 2003, effective for July 2003 and later. Make any payment for June or previous months as a retroactive payment based on the previous maximum. A listing, "Cases Adjusted," will be sent to the county offices following the mass adjustment.
