I think that you have it wrong. She received SSI initially because she was not SSA eligible (did not have a minimum of 40 quarters paid into the system)...and unless she has worked since she initially received SSI and has now met the 40 quarter requirement she is still receiving only SSI...and unless I am mistaken I do not think Oregon is a State that adds money to the Federal maximum for SSI.
