Supplemental Security Income payments will be delivered to SSI recipients on November 29, 2024. The usual date is December 1, 2024, but it has not been possible for Social Security to schedule it on that date.
Sundays are not business days, so Social Security needs to send payments on working days, often from Monday to Friday. When there is a weekday that is a Federal holiday, changes need to be made too by SSA. However, the SSI payment for December will not have such a high payment amount, so when will recipients get up to $1,450?
$1,450 for eligible recipients of the SSI program
This will be the maximum SSI payment for eligible married couples from December 31, 2024. Bear in mind that the Supplemental Security Income payment for December (issued on November 29) will be up to $1,415.
Therefore, there will be an increase of $35 for eligible married couples receiving the Supplemental Security Income payments who get the largest benefits. This boost will be possible thanks to the 2025 COLA boost.
Individuals can receive up to $943 in 2024. After the 2025 COLA increase recipients will get up to $967. In fact, an individual will receive up to 24 dollars extra. An essential person can receive up to $472 in 2024 and it will be up to $484 in 2025.
Not a recipient of the SSI program? Check if you qualify
Millions of Americans who have a low income receive SSI payments. However, many others do not know that they may be entitled to these monthly payments. Make sure you apply to find out.
Among the basic requirements are:
- having a low income
- having little or no resources (money on hand or in your bank account)
- having a disability, being blind, or at least 65 years old
Those who are already receiving Supplemental Security Income payments can explore options like the SNAP (Food Stamps) benefits program since they are compatible.
