The payments set out in the June calendar may have a surprise in the form of Supplemental Security Income for United States residents. This is because during the current month thousands of citizens may receive an extra check for this benefit. Therefore, this will result in these citizens having up to two different Supplemental Security Income checks and three different Social Security checks.
However, not all Americans can receive this extra check. To do so, it is necessary to follow very specific steps. If you do not follow these steps, you may not receive the extra Supplemental Security Income for the month of June. Even so, the payment will still arrive, just a little later.
Remember that this payment is not really a check with extra money that we will receive this month. What is important about this payment is that it is an advance on July’s Supplemental Security Income. An irregularity in the calendar means that next month’s SSI check has to be sent early.
Even so, receiving it early is always a great advantage. It will help us organize the financial side of the household much more easily. And, of course, we will also be able to organize our vacations with a little extra money, since summer is very close.
Steps to follow in order to receive the extra Supplemental Security Income
These steps are very simple and most people will have already done them. Even so, it is good to know them not only to receive the direct extra payment this month but also in the following months. Once you have done these steps, you will not have to do them again.
The steps to get the extra Supplemental Security Income are as follows:
- Check that we have accepted the Supplemental Security Income. To do this we can always log in to My Account in Social Security. Through our personal account we can check all kinds of payments and all kinds of benefits. We must check that our SSI check is accepted and without any problems.
- Check the payment schedule. As with Social Security payments, check the payment schedule for the month to make sure your check will arrive on time.
- Activate Direct Deposit. This step is the most fundamental of all. If we do not activate this collection method, receiving the extra Supplemental Security Income in June will be impossible. Thanks to this collection method we will be able to receive each and every Social Security check immediately.
After doing these three steps, all we have to do is wait to receive our Supplemental Security Income check of up to $914 per month. This money will arrive in advance in June. That means that in July we will not receive this check. Therefore, we must control our finances so that we do not spend all the money before the next Social Security check arrives.
