This\u2063 payment, worth up to $914 for individual filers, will be sent out on \u200cFriday, \u2063Dec. 29, four weeks after the first payment was released.<\/p>\n<p>This <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/social-security-update-second-of-december-double-payments-worth-914-to-be-sent-out-in-13-days\/\" title=\"Social Security update: 4 double payments to be sent in 13 days on December 2nd\">unique situation occurs multiple times<\/a> \u200ca year, where two payments are sent to beneficiaries during December. The reason for this is a scheduling quirk that\u200d happens when Jan. 1 falls on\u200d a holiday. Recipients \u2062always receive two checks in December because of this.<\/p>\n<h3>Double Payments \u200bin 2023 and 2024<\/h3>\n<p>In 2023, several other months featured rare double payments due\u2064 to the 1st of the next month falling on\u2064 a weekend or \u2064holiday. \u2063Similarly, there will be several double payments\u2063 in 2024. However, there are never\u2064 payments in January because\u200c Jan. 1 is a holiday.<\/p>\n<h3>Maximum Payment Amounts<\/h3>\n<p>The\u2064 maximum payment\u2063 amounts for beneficiaries depend on how they file. For individuals, the monthly\u200b payment rate is $914. Eligible couples receive a \u2064monthly payment rate of $1,371. Essential persons, who live with someone receiving SSI \u2064and provide \u200cnecessary\u200d care, receive\u200d a monthly\u2062 payment\u2063 of $458.<\/p>\n<p>To qualify for these payments, recipients must be at least 65 years old and meet certain financial\u2062 requirements. However, some individuals \u2064under the age of 65, including children,\u200d can also qualify if they are partially blind or have a physical or mental\u2063 disability\u2064 that severely limits their daily \u200cactivities for at least a year \u2062or is expected to \u2064result in death, according to the administration.<\/p>\n<p>Not every recipient will receive the maximum payment. Filers \u200ccan use the Social Security Administration&#8217;s\u200d calculator\u2064 to\u200c get a personalized estimate of their payment. Additionally, the monthly benefit is expected to rise by\u200b 3.2%\u2064 next year.<\/p>\n<p>SSI payments were first issued by the\u2062 SSA in January 1974, with payment rates increasing for cost-of-living adjustments since 1975, according to the agency.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Click here to read more\u200c from the Washington Examiner.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are some of the \u200bexpenses \u200cthat the extra payment in December aims to help SSI recipients cover?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Is\u200b part of an effort by the Social Security Administration to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/social-security-benefits-to-increase-3-2-percent-in-2024\/\" title=\"Social Security benefits to rise by 3.2% in 2024.\">provide additional financial support<\/a> to those who are most in need during the holiday season.<\/p>\n<p>Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is\u2064 a federal program\u200b that provides financial assistance to elderly and\u200c disabled individuals with limited income and resources.
