Supplemental Security Income payments can be of great help for low-income married couples. SSI benefits are usually due on the first day of the month, although there can be exceptions.
In this case, the Social Security Administration has scheduled the next SSI payment for both eligible married couples and individuals on October 1, 2024. So, this Federal payment will be in your bank account in just 2 days.
SSI payment amount
The amount of your Supplemental Security Income benefit will depend on your resources and income. So, if you have no other earnings or benefits you may qualify for up to $1,415 if you are a married couple.
Individuals may get a payment of up to $943. That will be the maximum benefit amount for 2024, regardless of the payday. If you got reductions, your payment amount may be closer to the average check.
As of August 2024, the average payment is worth $698. This average payment may be lower if you are aged 65, because it is just $575 for this age group. Those who are aged between 18-64 can receive about $744. The under-18s can receive a lot more on average, $820.
SSI payments after October 1
If you do not want to run out of money and you need to plan your budget ahead of schedule, check the 2 paydays set for November. Yes, SSA has set two different payment dates for November.
However, the last one will be the advanced payment for December. So, SSI will be sent on November 1, and the payment for December is on November 29.
The thing is there is a scheduled payment for the Supplemental Security Income program. However, it is the January 1 check which will be delivered on Tuesday, December 31. This is because SSA never sends money on a Federal holiday.
So it had to be rescheduled for the previous business day. This December 31 payment will bring the COLA increase for 2025.
