Get Ready for Your SSI Payment: What You Need to Know

Mark Your Calendar: June 1st and June 30th

In just 12 days, recipients of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program will receive their checks, worth up to $914 for individual filers. But that’s not all – there’s a second payment coming on June 30th.

Who Qualifies for SSI?

SSI provides monthly payments to adults and children with blindness or another disability and limited income. To qualify, a person must be over 65, be totally or partially blind, or have a “physical or mental condition(s) that very seriously limits their daily activities for a period of 12 months or more or may be expected to result in death.”

How Much Will You Receive?

The amount received varies depending on your filing status. Individual filers receive $914 each month, eligible couples receive ,371, and essential persons, who live with dependents receiving SSI payments and provide them with necessary care, get a monthly payment of $458.

When Will You Receive Your Payment?

Although payments are often disbursed on the first of each month, there are exceptions for when the first falls on a weekend or a holiday. In those cases, the SSA sends its monthly SSI checks on the last business day before the month begins.

Don’t Miss a Payment

The adjusted schedule means beneficiaries will continue to receive 12 checks per year, even though some months receive two checks and some receive none. There are four months in which two payments will be delivered in the same month this year: March, June, September, and December.

History of SSI Payments

SSI payments were first issued by the SSA in January 1974, and payment rates have increased for cost-of-living adjustments since 1975, according to the agency.
