Supplemental Security Income payments can be quite beneficial for low-income married couples. SSI benefits are normally due on the first of the month, although there may be exceptions.
In this scenario, the Social Security Administration has scheduled the next SSI payment for eligible married couples and individuals for October 1, 2024. So, this federal payment will be in your bank account in just two days.
SSI Payment Amount
The amount of your Supplemental Security Income payout is determined by your resources and income. So, if you have no other income or benefits, you may be eligible for up to $1,415 if you are married.
Individuals may receive a payment of up to $943. That will be the maximum benefit amount in 2024, regardless of payday. If you received reductions, your payment amount may be similar to the average check.
As of August 2024, the average payment was $698. If you are 65 or older, your average payment may be smaller, as it is only $575. Those aged 18 to 64 can get approximately $744. Under-18s can receive a far higher average of $820.
SSI payouts after October 1
If you don’t want to run out of money and need to manage your budget ahead of time, look into the two paydays scheduled for November. Yes, SSA has scheduled two separate payment dates for November.
The final one will be the advance payment for December. So, SSI will be sent on November 1st, with the December payment due on November 29th.
However, there is a scheduled payment for the Supplemental Security Income program. However, the check on January 1 will be delivered on Tuesday, December 31. This is because the Social Security Administration never sends money during Federal holidays.
It had to be rescheduled for the preceding business day. This December 31 payment will result in a COLA boost for 2025.
