The current maximum SSI payout amount varies by recipient category. For example, an eligible married couple can get up to $1,415 in 2024. Once the January 2025 payments are issued, Supplemental Security Income payments will increase by 2.5%. An eligible married couple can receive up to $1,450.

SSI will be due on December 31, 2024
The SSI payment for January 2025 will be transferred to beneficiaries’ bank accounts on December 31, 2024. Remember that this is not an additional payment and will be one of the twelve payments for 2025.
Actually, it will arrive 24 hours ahead of schedule because January 1, New Year’s Day, is a federal holiday. Federal holidays cannot be paydays, so money must be issued one day before the due date.
The SSI payment for February is due on January 31, 2025. Since February 1 comes on a Saturday, the Supplemental Security Income payment will be delivered on a business day rather than on a weekend.
