Typically paid on the first of the month, SSI payments are sent earlier when that day falls on a weekend or holiday. SSI supports individuals with limited income who are aged 65 or older, blind, or disabled. Payment amounts vary based on filing status: up to $994 for individuals, $1,491 for couples, and $498 for caregivers. This payment round will reflect a 2.8% cost-of-living increase for 2026. Recipients must meet citizenship or eligible immigration status requirements and reside in the U.S. or certain territories without extended absences.
