Supplemental Security Income payments are usually scheduled for the first day of the month. Although it was not the case in September, because the SSI payment was due on August 30, it will be due on October 1, 2024.
The amount of your payment will depend on your financial situation, age, and other factors. To get SSI you must have a disability, or be blind, or be at least 65 years old.
Who will receive $574 on average from SSI on October 1, 2024?
This average check for SSI recipients will be for those aged 65 or older. Even if the maximum amount a recipient can receive is $943, many 65-year-olds and older seniors rely on Social Security retirement benefits.
That is why they may not get the full amount of their SSI direct deposit or check. Getting $574 if you are 65 or older means you belong to the age group with the lowest payment.
If you do not have enough money for food, you may want to apply for another Federal payment. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) could be of great help when you are facing food insecurity and you can apply online.
SSI and the other average amounts in October
The average Supplemental Security Income payment for all recipients is worth $695. That is the figure that the Social Security Administration unveiled last August for the month of July.
The largest average Supplemental Security Income payment will be for those recipients aged under 18. Children may also qualify for this payment and they get about $805 on average. But there is one more group that receives more money than 65-year-olds and older beneficiaries.
If you are on SSI and you are aged 18-64, you may get about $742. Those who have a low income, little or no resources, and meet the other requirements should apply now for Supplemental Security Income. Thousands of Americans are missing out on this monthly payments.
