Supplemental Security Income payments are made once a month to people in the United States. This Social Security benefit is only for the neediest citizens and there are strict requirements to obtain it. Although there is only one payment per month, there are certain months when there are irregularities.
When irregularities occur, recipients may receive two checks in the same month. These two Supplemental Security Income checks in one month can be very helpful in meeting many expenses. Even so, we must keep in mind that there is not one extra payment per year, but that the payment for one of the months comes in advance.
September will see two Supplemental Security Income payments. This will allow certain recipients to receive up to $1,828 during September from SSI. It is true that it is not usual to have the maximum of $914 per month, but it is possible that this will happen. And the first of these checks is very close.
WHEN IS THE FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME IN SEPTEMBER?
As we have discussed previously, two Supplemental Security Income checks will arrive in September. This will cause us to have an extra payment during the days of this month. But this does not guarantee that we will get it between the days of the month. Depending on the payment method we choose, we may receive the money on the same day or a few days later.
The payment of the Supplemental Security Income for September will be made on the 1st, as is customary in these cases. In addition to that, there is another payment on the 1st as well as the SSI payment during the month.
It should be noted that on the 1st of September some pensioners will also collect their Social Security. Therefore, the Social Security Administration will send these payments on the 1st of next month:
- Supplemental Security Income payment for beneficiaries with the benefit already accepted.
- Retirement Pension payment for pensioners with a pre-1997 benefit. It does not matter whether the check is for age or disability retirement.
Also, at the end of September, the Administration will send an extra SSI check. This other payment will be on the 29th day of September and is actually the October payment. Since October 1st is a weekend, the Administration sends the payment on the immediately preceding business day, i.e., September 29th.
