Social Security update: $914 direct payment arrives in 28 days.
Supplemental Security Income Program Recipients to Receive First September Payment in Four Weeks
Exciting news for recipients of the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program! According to the Social Security Administration’s calendar, the first payment for September, worth up to $914 for individual filers, will be arriving in just four weeks.
This eagerly anticipated payment is scheduled to be sent out on September 1st, exactly 28 days from now. But that’s not all! Due to a scheduling kink, there will be a second payment for the month. This second payment, which replaces October’s payment, will be delivered on Friday, September 29th. This adjustment is necessary because September 30th and October 1st fall on a weekend.
The Mixed Messages of Bidenomics
Typically, SSI recipients receive one payment per month. However, this year, there are four months when beneficiaries will receive two checks: March, June, September, and December. This is because the first of the month falls on a weekend in April, July, and October, and January 1st is always a holiday. Rest assured, this adjusted schedule ensures that beneficiaries still receive a total of 12 checks per year, even though there are no payments in April, July, October, or January.
To qualify for the Supplemental Security Income program, individuals must be over 65 and meet specific financial requirements. Those under 65 may also qualify if they are partially blind, have a physical or mental condition that significantly limits their daily activities for at least one year, or are expected to pass away due to their condition.

The amount of money beneficiaries receive each month depends on their filing status. Eligible couples can receive up to $1,371 per month, while independent filers can receive as much as $914. Additionally, essential individuals who live with and care for SSI recipients can receive a monthly payment of up to $458, as stated by the SSA. However, it’s important to note that not every recipient receives the maximum payout.
SSI payments have been issued since January 1974, and payment rates have increased over the years to account for cost-of-living adjustments. The projected COLA for 2024 is approximately a 3% increase based on June’s numbers, although July’s numbers have not yet been released.
