Although Social Security retirement checks are sent to US citizens every month, the amount is insufficient to cover all beneficiaries. So, if you have an extra SSI check, you should know that you can count on it every month. However, payments for this benefit will not arrive in the next few days.
While the SSI benefit is undeniably beneficial to the poorest citizens, it is also true that eligibility is required in order to receive the monthly benefit. This check may be large for eligible Americans, but it is also true that it is determined by factors such as the citizen receiving the benefit’s income.
When do the new SSI payments arrive?
SSI checks typically arrive on the first of each month. This is true except on holidays and weekends. The payment for the month of May will be the new batch of checks for this benefit, which will arrive without any issues.
So the payment will be made on May 1st, which means we will have to wait nearly a month for the funds to become available.
Thus, SSI benefits will arrive twice in May 2025. This is because the month of June has an irregularity, which means we receive one payment on the first and another on the 30th of the month.
Without a doubt, it is a good opportunity to collect a double check and thus earn some extra money on top of what is typically sent with the SSI.
How much can I receive from the SSI?
On the one hand, we discover that SSI payments have a maximum check of $967 for US citizens who collect individually. However, this payment may be higher for citizens who receive the check along with an eligible spouse.
Americans who qualify for SSI with their eligible spouse receive a check for up to $1,450 to use as needed. As a result, Americans who have activated this benefit can receive a significant amount of money, which is undoubtedly beneficial in general.
Remember that in order to receive payments for this benefit, you must have a low monthly income and be 65 years old or disabled. If you meet these requirements, you will be able to enjoy this check without any issues.
