Changes to Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Payment Timing: Benefits Now Arriving Within Seven Days

According to an MSN article, in one week, recipients will receive their September installment of the Supplemental Security Income payment, which can reach a maximum of $914 for individual claimants. The initial payment will be made on September 1st, marking the first of two disbursements scheduled for September. This unique occurrence is a result of an anomaly in the Social Security Administration’s calendar, with the second payment slated for September 29th, taking the place of the regular October payment.

This year, beneficiaries will experience this dual-payment arrangement in four months: March, June, September, and December. This adjustment is necessary because the first day of the month falls on weekends in April, July, and October, while January 1st is consistently observed as a holiday.

The payment amounts distributed to beneficiaries differ depending on their filing status. For individuals, the payment rate stands at $914 per month. Eligible couples, on the other hand, receive a monthly payment rate of $1,371. Those categorized as essential persons, who reside with a Supplemental Security Income(SSI) recipient and provide crucial care, receive a monthly payment rate of $458.
