The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment for the month of September, which is in the amount of up to $943, will be delivered to handfuls of people living with some disabilities in just 15 days.
SSI payments for the month of September are not distributed on September 1, but will arrive one day earlier, on August 30, and are given to people who have some disabilities, which disable them, which in one way or another harm their income, according to the Social Security Administration.
Those who want to apply for benefits must be at least partially blind or have some “physical or mental condition that seriously limits their daily activities for at least 12 months or more or that can be expected to result in death” to be eligible.
Up to $1,415 for Couples From the SSI
Applicants who file individually can get up to $943 per month, couples who file jointly can get up to $1,415, and essential individuals, who are those who provide SSI recipients with the care and help they need , they can receive up to $472. Inflation has caused these payments to increase 3.2% since last year.
SSI payments and regular Social Security benefits are separate. Those who receive Social Security payments do not automatically qualify to receive SSI payments and vice versa. Recipients can use the SSA calculator to calculate their total payment.
What is SSI?
Supplemental Security Income SSI is a federal program that provides monthly payments to people with limited income and resources. SSI is intended for people 65 years of age or older, as well as people of any age who are blind or have disabilities, including children. To receive SSI, you must meet one of these requirements:
- Be 65 years old or older.
- Be totally or partially blind.
- Have a medical condition that
- Won’t let them to work and what is expected that lasts at least a year or that cause death.
How much can you receive?
The basic SSI monthly payment in 2024 is the same nationwide. The quantity is:
- $943 for a single person.
- $1,415 for a couple.
Not all beneficiaries receive the same amount. You may be able to receive a higher amount if you live in a state that adds money to the federal SSI payment. Additionally, you may be able to receive a smaller amount if you or your family have other income. Where and who you live with also makes a difference in the amount of your SSI payment.
How do you qualify for SSI?
Your income includes the money you earn, your Social Security benefits, your pensions, and the value of things you receive from someone else. Where you live affects how much income you can have monthly and still receive SSI payments. Each state has different rules.
You may be able to receive SSI if your resources are worth no more than $2,000 for an individual or $3,000 for a married couple living together. We do not take into account all your possessions when we decide if you can receive SSI. For example, the SSA don’t count a house if you own and live in it, and generally, they don’t count your vehicle. The agency do consider cash, bank accounts, stocks, and bonds.
