More than five million Americans receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI). To get this federal benefit you must have filed, got the approval, and met all the requirements.
Not only can you receive SSI if you have a disability, but it is also for people aged 65 or older or blind people. March 1 will be the next payday if you are on this disability benefit.
Regardless of the way you qualified for SSI, you must have a low income and little or no money on hand. In this way, this benefit remains for only those who are in need.
SSI DIRECT PAYMENTS IN MARCH
If you are already a Supplemental Security Income beneficiary, you will collect a direct payment on March 1. This payment can be worth up to $943 if you are single. Married couples can be eligible for payments of up to $1,415.
The thing is many beneficiaries receive SSDI (Social Security Disability Insurance) or retirement benefits at the same time. In these cases, your disability payment is smaller.
Bear in mind that the average SSI check is worth about $697. Seniors aged 65 or older get an average payment of just $574.46. While children on Supplemental Security Income under 18 get $814 on average.
Supplemental, SSDI, AND RETIREMENT – DIRECT DEPOSIT
The Social Security Administration (SSA) has had to reschedule the March 3 retirement and SSDI check. As March 3 will be on the weekend, this retirement and SSDI check will be due on March 1.
Therefore, millions of retirees and people on disability benefits will cash a payment 2 days in advance. Social Security does this so that there are no delays. Supplemental Security Income beneficiaries can qualify for this SSDI or retirement check at the same time.
Consequently, if you are on SSI and SSDI or retirement benefits at the same time, you will get two payments on the same day. Social Security allows low-income retirees or SSDI recipients to get Supplemental Security Income.
