The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment has already been sent in September. This direct deposit was due on August 30, 2024. Therefore, it is time to apply for this monthly benefit if you did not do so last month.
The good thing about the SSI benefit is the fact that all recipients get their money on the same payday. However, the amount of each Supplemental Security Income payment can be different. It will depend on your earnings and resources whether you get the maximum amount or not.
Social Security payment schedule for SSI
The Administration has unveiled that the SSI direct deposit or check will be issued on October 1, 2024. This will not be the last payment in 2024, there will be 3 more paydays.
Of course, you qualify for SSI if you got approval, and you remain eligible. Having additional earnings can reduce or stop Supplemental Security Income direct deposits and checks.
