People who get SSI will get their next payment in about three weeks. There will be another one on December 31, 2024, even if they all got their December pay on November 29, 2024.
Please note that this last payment is not for December, but for January 1, 2025. The Social Security Administration had to change the date of this Supplemental Security Income payment, and it will now be sent 24 hours early.
Getting an SSI check or direct deposit ahead of time has many benefits, especially if you need to spend your money quickly because you are having money problems. Because January 1 is a Federal Holiday, SSA offices and banks will be closed all day.
This means that they will send it before the due date. There are no payments made on that date, even if online services are available.
SSI payments of up to $1,450
Social Security has confirmed that this payment, which is paid for by the federal government, will give eligible married couples payments of up to $1,450. Single people will get a bigger payment from Supplemental Security Income. It will now be $967 instead of $943.
These are the most you can get from SSI if you don’t get any cuts. Remember that if you are getting Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or retirement benefits, most of the time, your benefits will go down.
This is why, as of November 2024, the average SSI payment for all recipients is about $698. People aged 65 and up who get Supplemental Security Income usually get about $575 a month because they may also be getting retirement benefits.
Essential persons to get $484 from SSI
You may also be able to get Supplemental Security Income payments if you are not a single person or a married couple who meets the requirements. To be an essential person, you must, however, meet all the requirements.
Even though they only get up to $484, it is still a big help for people who need it the most. SSI payments for single people, couples, and people who need help will all go up by 2.5% after the 2025 COLA increase.
You can also apply for other Federal programs that work with yours, like the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), if you think your payment is too low and you are having trouble getting food.
