There are millions of people who get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and they all got their checks last week, on October 1st. Some people may be thinking when their next check will come. The Social Security Administration says that people who get benefits from this scheme will still get three more SSI checks in the last few months of the year.
To get these monthly benefits, applicants must first show that they make less than $1,917 a month and meet the government agency’s requirements for assets and resources. If you get these benefits now or want to apply for them in the future, find out more about the requirements and when you will be given your money.
Social Security announced the next SSI benefits to be delivered in the coming months
There are more than 7 million SSI recipients who fight to pay their monthly bills and, in some cases, even stay out of poverty. Every month, the Social Security Administration sends them benefits.
They have a Social Security payment plan so that all beneficiaries can know exactly when they will receive their monthly benefits. This is because the federal government has to send out millions of payments every month. According to the plan, people who get Supplemental Security Income (SSI) will get the following payments:
| SSI benefits | Scheduled date | Extra SSI benefits |
| August | August 1st | August 30th (September 1st) |
| September | – | – |
| October | October 1st | – |
| November | November 1st | November 29th (December 1st) |
| December | – | December 31st (January 1st) |
You can see that people who get SSI will get twice as much next month because December 1 is a weekend. Because of this, the SSA moves the payment to the previous business day whenever this happens. Since January 1 is a holiday, these claimants will get an extra payment in December for their SSI funds for January.
Also, it’s important to note that the new cost of living adjustment (COLA) increase will be publicly confirmed this week and will be added to this last payment. People who get SSI will likely get the following raise in their Social Security checks as of December 31st, even though they don’t know the exact amount yet:
| SSI benefits | Social Security checks | 2.5% COLA increase | Extra income |
| On average | $698 | $715 | $17 |
| Individuals | $943 | $967 | $24 |
| Couples | $1,415 | $1,450 | $35 |
| Essential person | $472 | $484 | $12 |
Still, keep in mind that these monthly payment amounts were worked out using the Senior Citizens League’s latest 2.5% COLA prediction. So, these numbers could go up or down depending on what the final COLA rate for 2025 is.
How can Americans become eligible for SSI benefits?
Since 1935, the Social Security Administration (SSA) has given monthly benefits to millions of Americans, citizens, and residents, as long as they meet certain requirements. These benefits help with living costs and saving for retirement. Every month, the federal agency gives out benefits.
It does this by looking at the person’s situation, how much they’ve paid into Social Security, their work experience, the type of disability they have, and their full retirement age. Income, resources, and the type of application are some of the things that affect benefits. Eligibility and the exact amount each recipient can receive each month are also factors.
For example, SSI applicants who are single and meet the standards can get up to $943 a month, while couples can get up to $1,415 a month. People who meet the requirements to be an Essential Person (EP) could get an extra $472 in pay.
It is important to let people in the program know that the benefits are meant to cover the basics for people who have paid into the Social Security system through their jobs. Finally, keep in mind that different recipients may be able to get different payouts.
