This week, the Social Security Administration can send up to two payments to some Americans. It’s true that you have to follow the rules for both direct payments and checks.
Remember that you won’t be able to get any of these payments unless you have asked for and been approved by Social Security. Let’s look at the Americans who can get two payments this week.
SSI and Social Security eligibility
Thus, you must meet the needs of both programs in order to get the two payments, one from the Administration and the other from the Federal Government.
Let’s begin with Supplemental Security Income (SSI) and then move on to Social Security. In order to get SSI, you basically need to have a low income and few or no means. Even better, you have to have a handicap, be blind, or be at least 65 years old.
As soon as this payment is approved, you should get the money from this federally backed program on October 1. Everyone gets their direct payment or check on the same pay day. What about getting Social Security this week, though?
Social Security: retirement and SSDI
This week, to get SSA benefits, you must either be getting SSDI or retirement benefits. However, this alone will not be enough. People who get SSDI or retirement payments this week through direct deposit must have been getting them since before May 1997.
In other words, for more than 27 years. After that date, if you have been getting benefits, you can only apply if you are getting both Social Security and Supplemental Security Income at the same time. This is the group of Americans who can get two payments from October 1 to October 3.
People who receive both Supplemental Security Income and Social Security on the third tier. It doesn’t matter if it’s retirement or SSDI. Amount-wise, it could be around $698 for SSI, $1,539 for SSDI, and $1,920 for retirement.
