August Social Security payment worth $994 goes out in 27 days
In August 2026, Supplemental Security income (SSI) payments of up to $994 will be distributed to eligible recipients within 27 days, typically on the first day of each month; however, if that day falls on a weekend or holiday, payments are made on the previous business day, which for August 1st (a Saturday) is July 31st. SSI supports individuals with limited income who are blind, aged 65 or older, or have qualifying disabilities. The exact amount varies based on factors such as the number of filers, with individuals possibly receiving up to $994, couples up to $1,491, and caregivers up to $498. Recipients must be U.S. citizens or certain noncitizens, reside in one of the 50 states, D.C.,or the Northern Mariana Islands,and not spend a full calendar month or 30 consecutive days outside the U.S. Changes to Social security benefits are projected to perhaps reduce payments by hundreds of dollars across all states by 2032. Additional eligibility requirements include living within the specified regions and not being absent from the U.S. for extended periods. Detailed details and payment schedules are available on the SSA website.
