Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits arrive every month so that the neediest United States citizens can have a little extra money to pay their bills. Thus, in the month of October there is a new payment of this check with this ultimate goal. The amount depends on many factors and the day we have the money available changes from one citizen to another.
What is certain is that having the benefit accepted we can enjoy the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check, either before or after. Thanks to these benefits, thousands of American families can have enough money to be able to pay their monthly expenses and, therefore, have a higher standard of living.
Be that as it may, we must keep in mind that the ultimate goal of this Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit is not to make the beneficiaries rich, but to help them have an extra income to make their day-to-day life easier. So, if you have the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit accepted, you should check to see if you will have it in your checking account in a few hours.
New payment for Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
On October 1st, citizens of the States that have this Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefit can get a check from the Social Security Administration. Whether it is available on October 1st or not depends on the collection method chosen. So if you have Direct Deposit activated, you will be able to receive your check right away.
So, in order to receive this payment of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) on the 1st of October, you must:
- Have the Supplemental Security Income benefit accepted.
- Have activated Direct Deposit to collect Supplemental Security Income.
If you do not have Direct Deposit activated to get your Supplemental Security Income check each month, you must wait a few days. The money will be available in your checking account about 3 days after the payment date.
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Eligibility Requirements
Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits are only for the neediest United States citizens. If you have a low income, you may be able to apply for one of these monthly checks. Many citizens who are eligible to get this payment are not aware that they can apply for it.
To get a new Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment of up to $943 each month you must:
- Have a disability or have reached age 65. It is not necessary to be retired.
- Have low income each month, as well as low resources in general.
The amount of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) we get each month depends on our monthly income. The lower our monthly income, the higher our Supplemental Security Income benefit will be.
In addition, your Supplemental Security Income check may change each month if the Social Security Administration deems it necessary. If our monthly income changes, our Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may go up or down, so we should watch out if we get more money each month, or we may not even get this extra check.
