If you and your spouse are beneficiaries of Supplemental Security Income (SSI), you’ll receive your next payment in August 2024.
This payment is intended for the month of September but is being issued early due to the scheduling constraints of the Social Security Administration (SSA). Here’s what you need to know about the payment dates and the amount you can expect.
SSI payments are usually made on the first of each month, unless it falls on a weekend or holiday, in which case they are issued on the last business day before the first.
For September 2024, since September 1st is a Sunday, the SSA will issue payments on Friday, August 30, 2024. This ensures that beneficiaries receive their funds on a business day.
Eligible married couples can receive a maximum SSI payment of $1,415 if they meet income and resource limits.
The maximum SSI payment for individuals is $943, with essential persons receiving up to $472. Payment amounts vary based on income, resources, and living arrangements.
To receive SSI benefits, individuals must have low income, limited resources, be blind, disabled, or 65 years or older. Couples must meet these criteria together and report any changes to the SSA.
For low-income individuals and couples, additional support programs like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) can provide further assistance, especially for purchasing food.
These programs can help alleviate some financial burdens and ensure that basic needs are met.
