August’s Supplemental Security Income payment, worth up to $967, will go out to recipients in 25 days.
SSI payments are usually distributed at the start of every month to beneficiaries who have limited income and are either blind, 65 and older, or have a qualifying disability.
The amount recipients will receive will vary based on several factors, including how many people are filing. Individuals, for instance, will receive up to $967, couples filing together can receive $1,450, and essential people providing necessary care to SSI recipients can receive up to $484.
January’s SSI payments increased by 2.5% to keep pace with inflation.
Beyond the previous prerequisites needed to receive SSI payments, recipients must also be either a citizen of the United States or a noncitizen in one of the alien classifications granted by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
