People who want to get SSI need to know how Supplemental Security Income Expedited Payments work in 2024. Keep in mind that this Federal aid is only for people who are blind, disabled, or at least 65 years old, have a low income, and have few or no resources.
If you qualified for presumptive disability (PD) or presumptive blindness payment, you may be able to get your payments faster. This way, you won’t have to wait too long for your SSI check. It is possible when medical proof makes it easy to figure out how bad your situation is.
SSI and the Emergency Advance Payment
The second time you can get faster Supplemental Security Income payouts is if you need an emergency advance payment. SSA may give a one-time emergency advance payment to a person who is applying for benefits for the first time, is likely to be qualified for SSI, and is having a financial emergency.
“Immediate payment” is the third way to get Supplemental Security Income funds faster. When someone is in a financial situation, the Social Security Administration may give a new Supplemental Security Income claimant (or a recipient whose benefits are being held up) a payment right away.
For those of you who are asking, the most you can get right away from SSI is $999.00. You could claim it if you need money right away for safety or health reasons.
SSI & Expedited reinstatement cases
In some cases, your Supplemental Security Income payments may end because you made too much money. If you stopped getting Supplemental Security Income because of this, there are a few things you can do to get it again.
- Due to your medical condition, you are not able to work at the SGA (Substantial Gainful Activity) level.
- Are not able or become unable to perform SGA in the month of the EXR request
- Have a current impairment like the one you qualified for Supplemental Security Income or related to it
- Request EXR within 5 years from the month you benefits stopped
