Normally paid on the first of the month, January&#8217;s payments will be sent out on December 31 as the first falls on a holiday. SSI benefits are given to people with limited income who are aged 65 or older, blind, or have certain disabilities. Payment amounts vary depending on filing status, with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >couples potentially receiving<\/a> up to $1,491 and caregivers up to $498. This January&#8217;s payments reflect a 2.8% cost-of-living adjustment for 2026, increasing from last year&#8217;s maximum of $967 for individuals. To qualify, recipients must be U.S.citizens or certain eligible noncitizens, reside in the U.S. or specified territories, and not be absent from the country for more than 30 consecutive days.
