In the United States, by the time a citizen knows that they can apply for a retirement payment, they should also know that there are extra payments that supplement their monthly check. If you have access to one of these extra payments, you can get up to $967 every month, in addition to other Social Security retirement payments.
So, this check arrives on the 1st of every month, with some exceptions. And in the month of March we will have an exception that will mean that citizens will not receive this SSI check within that month, but will have it in advance.
This way, if we have the SSI payment accepted and we meet other requirements, we will have a check for up to $967 in our bank account before the end of this week. This is undoubtedly very good news for all Americans.
When does the March SSI arrive?
The day the March SSI payment will be made will be February 28, 2025. The reason for this is very simple, as it simply follows the rule of irregularities in the payment schedule. When a Social Security payment falls on a weekend or holiday, the Social Security Administration sends it on the immediately preceding business day.
Therefore, we find that before the month of March begins, we will have the SSI payment for the month of March. This is really useful if we have bills to pay as soon as the month starts. So, this check for up to $967 will arrive on that specific day only if you have Direct Deposit activated.
With this collection method, all retirement checks and other Social Security payments arrive immediately in our checking account. Otherwise, we will have to wait a few days until we have the check in our pocket.
Requirements to get SSI from Social Security
Social Security payments related to Supplemental Security Income have two requirements. If we meet both of them, we will be able to receive the monthly payment. What’s more, many of the citizens eligible for this type of payment do not receive the accepted monthly benefit because they do not know that they are eligible.
Therefore, it is advisable to know that:
- We can request the SSI check if we have a disability or are over 65 years of age.
- In addition to that, it is also mandatory to have low monthly income and low economic resources to apply for this monthly benefit.
There are no other mandatory requirements, so meeting both is more than enough. Thus, citizens who fall within this group will be able to get the $967 check monthly, which is compatible with retirement and disability benefits.
