Receiving a total of $2,830 in August will be possible for some eligible SSI recipients in the United States. Bear in mind that these are maximum amounts, and that you may get a reduction which may prevent you from getting so much money.
What is more, this will be the largest SSI payment amount for the two different paydays in August. Do not forget that most Supplemental Security Income recipients get $697 per month on average.
Who will receive $2,830 from SSI in August?
This is the total amount of the 2 payment dates for eligible married couples on Supplemental Security Income. Since a married couple can receive up to $1,415 on August 1 and up to $1,415 on August 30, $2,830 is the maximum amount a recipient can get next month.
The thing is the payment on August 30 is the one for September 1 sent ahead of schedule. Since September 1 falls on the weekend, a change had to be made on the payday.
Therefore, you should save that money for the month of September because it is not a bonus and it is not extra money. But what if you do not qualify for the largest SSI payment?
Average SSI payments for August
The average check for all Supplemental Security Income recipients is $697. However, it will depend on your personal situation whether you can get more or less money than that.
For instance, if you are 65 years old or older, you could get an average payment of about $574. This amount could increase as the age group goes down. This may be because 65-year-olds and older get retirement benefits, so their monthly payment decreases.
Those aged 18-64 can receive on average about $743. However, if you are an under 18, you can receive $815 on average. For your information, SSI is just for those who have a low income. Getting additional money per month may mean losing eligibility. Having a disability, being blind or being at least 65 are other requirements.
