The payments sent each month by the Social Security Administration to beneficiaries in the United States are always different from each other. A clear example is the Supplemental Security Income, which goes to United States citizens who meet all the mandatory requirements. In the case of not meeting the requirements, the Administration does not send this Supplemental Security Income check to the beneficiaries.
It is very important that Americans who have a monthly Supplemental Security Income payment accepted do not fail to meet the requirements. If they do, they could lose this check of up to $914 per month, which can be of great help to American households.
Still, there are more reasons why a retiree could lose these checks. But we won’t get too deeply into that information now, as the important thing to know is who could cash the new check of up to $914 that will arrive in just a few days.
New August Supplemental Security Income Check
The payment of this new check follows traditional schedules in terms of the Supplemental Security Income payment schedule. The day on which the Administration will send the payment will be the 1st of the month of August. This means that some citizens will be able to receive the benefit on that particular day. By simply activating Direct Deposit, the SSI recipient will not have to wait a single day.
Still, several requirements must be met if we want to get a monthly check of up to $914 from Supplemental Security Income. Here are the conditions:
- Be age 65 or older or have a recognized disability.
- Not have many financial resources.
- Have a low monthly income.
If you meet these three criteria, the Social Security Administration may send you your monthly SSI payment if you apply on time. The next payment on the 1st will only arrive for beneficiaries who have had their benefits accepted in advance. Retirees waiting for the SSA to accept their Supplemental Security Income payment will likely have to wait until September.
Other Social Security payments in August
In addition to this August SSI check payment, the payment schedule also has days listed in other weeks. Let’s take a look at the complete Social Security payment schedule for August:
- August 1st. Supplemental Security Income payment for August 1.
- August 3rd. Check for pre-1997 retirees.
- August 9th. Retirees with a post-1997 check and birthdays between the 1st and 10th are paid on this day.
- August 16th. Any citizen with a post-1997 benefit and birthday between the 11th and 20th collect on this day.
- August 23rd. Beneficiaries with a post-1997 check and date of birth between the 21st and 31st collect on this day.
Therefore, a retiree can receive both the Supplemental Security Income check and the retirement check in the same month. It is not mandatory to have one benefit to access the other, since a citizen can receive only one of these two checks.
