The new Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments are very close to reaching United States households. Each new month, the Social Security Administration sends these new payments to eligible recipients. So check to see if you are eligible to get one of these new payments.
However, even if you are eligible, it does not mean that you can safely get the extra Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment within the month of May. In addition to being eligible, there is another requirement that must be met. Only then will we be able to get an extra check of up to $943 in May.
Requirements to get the Extra SSI in May 2024
The new Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payments next May come twice as much to American households. Recipients of this benefit can get payment on the following days:
- May 1st. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment for the month of May itself.
- May 31st. Advance payment of Supplemental Security Income for the month of June.
The requirements to obtain these benefits are those that the Social Security Administration usually requires to obtain them. On the one hand, to be 65 years of age or older or have a disability. On the other hand, have low resources and low monthly income.
Get both SSI payments within the month of May
The days mentioned above are the days on which the Social Security Administration sends each of these payments. But that does not mean that the beneficiary will get the checks on this particular day.
In order to have the money for these two May days available within May, we must activate Direct Deposit. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) check will always arrive on the same day of mailing if we activate this collection method.
Remember that the amount of the check does not matter in determining whether we get it sooner or later. What does determine when we will get the payment is the collection method activated. And here Direct Deposit is always the fastest and most effective option.
