August Social Security payment worth $994 goes out in 23 days
In August 2026, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments of up to $994 will be issued in 23 days. Typically, SSI payments are made on the first day of the month, but if that day falls on a weekend or holiday, they are sent the last business day of the previous month. Since August 1 falls on a Saturday, recipients will receive their benefits on July 31. SSI supports individuals with limited income who are blind, over 65, or have certain disabilities. The amount varies based on factors such as household size, with individual recipients eligible for up to $994, couples for up to $1,491, and caregivers for up to $498. Recipients must meet specific eligibility criteria, including U.S. citizenship or eligible noncitizen status, residence in one of the 50 states, D.C., or Northern Mariana Islands, and not being absent for a full month or 30 consecutive days. Additional details and a payment schedule are available on the Social Security Administration’s website.
