March Social Security direct payment worth $994 goes out in 12 days
An article from the Washington Examiner reports that March 2026 Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments, worth up to $994 for individuals, will be issued in about 12 days. Because March 1 falls on a Sunday, this month’s SSI payments are scheduled for February 27; when the first of the month is on a weekend or holiday, payments are issued on the last business day of the previous month. SSI beneficiaries are people with limited income who are blind, 65 or older, or have qualifying disabilities; payment amounts vary with factors like household size—individuals up to $994, couples up to $1,491, and essential caregivers up to $498. Eligibility requires U.S. citizenship or qualifying noncitizen status, residence in the United States (in the 50 states, D.C., or the Northern Mariana Islands), and not being absent from the U.S. for a full calendar month or 30 consecutive days.The article also notes related stories and provides a link to the Social Security Administration’s full payment calendar.
March Social Security direct payment worth $994 goes out in 12 days
The March 2026 Supplemental Security Income payments, worth up to $994, will be issued to recipients in 12 days.
SSI payments are typically issued on the first day of each month, but March’s payment will go out on Feb. 27, since March 1 falls on a Sunday this year. When the first of the month falls on a weekend or holiday, SSI payments are issued on the last business day of the previous month.
Beneficiaries are people with limited income who are either blind, aged 65 and older, or have a qualifying disability.
The amount beneficiaries receive varies based on several factors, including the number of people filing. For example, individual filers can receive up to $994, couples filing jointly can receive $1,491, and those providing essential care to SSI recipients can receive up to $498.
In addition to the previous prerequisites for receiving SSI payments, recipients must also be U.S. citizens or noncitizens in one of the alien classifications granted by the Department of Homeland Security.
