For United States citizens, one of the most useful payments within the Social Security checks is the Supplemental Security Income. This check helps all needy Americans pay all of their monthly bills without delay. At the end of the day, it is a check that reaches the pockets of the Americans who have the least money.
For that reason, knowing that Supplemental Security Income payments will increase a bit for its citizens is good news. Apparently, starting in June we will see an increase in the checks for this benefit, so its recipients can enjoy some extra money per month. In this sense, a large part of the citizens are wondering about the process to take to apply for this increase.
Regardless of the amount we have in our Supplemental Security Income check, the increase will take place. It is not the amount that determines whether or not a Supplemental Security Income recipient will receive a little extra money. It is the individual’s overall personal situation that will determine the increase in the end.
How do I apply for an increase in Supplemental Security Income?
Not all States will increase the Supplemental Security Income check each month. Only the following States will: Alabama, Alaska, North Carolina, South Carolina, Colorado, Connecticut, South Dakota, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, Wyoming.

To get this check increase we don’t have to do anything at this time. The Social Security Administration itself will adjust the amount of these citizens’ payments. So if you already have a Supplemental Security Income benefit you will just have to wait to receive it, just like it happens every month.
When is the next SSI payment in June 2023?
During the days of June 2023 we will be able to receive up to 2 separate Supplemental Security Income payments. The first of these checks will be made on the 1st of June. This payment belongs to the month of June itself and has no change in the calendar.
Secondly, there is another extra payment on June 30th. This check is actually the SSI benefit for the month of July. It is brought forward a few days because June 1st is a weekend. When the payment for the month is in this situation it is sent on the immediately preceding business day.
If a beneficiary has this check and wants to receive it quickly they need to activate Direct Deposit. With this collection method, any citizen who has a Supplemental Security Income benefit or any other type of benefit will get a check immediately.
