Getting a new Supplemental Security Income benefit each month is a huge relief for thousands of households in the United States. If instead of getting one SSI check, we get two, the relief is doubled. Even so, we don’t get any extra money, since we will get the same amount of money at the end of the year.
What we can get is an advance on that payment. And that is the ultimate goal for citizens who have the Supplemental Security Income benefit accepted before the arrival of this month. If we have the benefit accepted, we can get the money and, therefore, we can have a little extra cash for the last few days of the month.
In addition, it is possible that the Social Security benefit may arrive at the same time as the Supplemental Security Income. This will depend on the group to which we belong, but it is true that this situation is entirely possible. Still, in order to get a double SSI check in September, you don’t have to meet too many requirements.
ELIGIBILITY LIST FOR THE DOUBLE SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME IN SEPTEMBER
Thousands of United States citizens will be able to get two SSI payments within days in September. But not all citizens who have this benefit can get the payment in this month. Some of them will get the money even later than usual. All this will depend on the chosen method of payment.
In order to get the double check for Supplemental Security Income in September, it is necessary to meet several conditions. Here is the list of mandatory requirements if you want to get your second SSI check before the month is over:
- Have the SSI check accepted in advance. If the benefit is still in the process of being accepted, the double check may not arrive.
- Activate Direct Deposit as a collection method. This is really important. The Social Security Administration will send the second SSI check on the 29th day of September. If the recipient has not activated Direct Deposit, it could take up to 3 days for the money to arrive. With a weekend in between, the money would arrive on the 2nd or 3rd of September.
Apart from these two requirements, there is no other mandatory requirement to get the money early. Even so, remember that in order to receive the Supplemental Security Income it is necessary to fulfill two indispensable requirements. Keep this in mind when applying for the monthly benefit.
On the one hand, you must be 65 years of age or older or have a disability. This filter is indispensable for Americans who want to apply for SSI. On the other hand, it is also essential to have a low monthly income. At the end of the day, the money from this benefit is only for the neediest citizens.
