Exceptionally, United States recipients who have a Supplemental Security Income benefit can receive two checks in the same month. This means that during the days of the month these citizens can enjoy a double Supplemental Security Income payment. The financial advantage of this is enormous.
Having one of the next Social Security checks early helps Americans tremendously. Especially when you consider that many of these citizens don’t really have any other source of income. Although it is not advisable to live on just the Social Security check and Supplemental Security Income, some citizens have no other choice.
However, not all citizens who have accepted Supplemental Security Income can take advantage of this check early. To do so, they must meet certain requirements. Without these requirements, getting the extra check within the month of June will be impossible. While it is true that the Social Security Administration will send the check equally to all Americans, receiving it will depend on certain conditions.
What do I have to do to receive the extra June Supplemental Security Income?
In order to receive your Supplemental Security Income check in June, you must activate a specific collection method. In order to receive any of the checks from the Social Security Administration, you must have a bank account. But receiving the money through a classic wire transfer into that bank account means that we have to wait longer.
The method that will help us to receive the payment immediately is Direct Deposit. Through this method of payment, citizens who have any accepted benefit will receive it instantly. As soon as the check for Supplemental Security Income is sent by the Administration, the citizen with Direct Deposit can receive it.
And that is why we can enjoy the extra check for Supplemental Security Income in June. This check is actually an advance of the June payment, so we don’t really have extra money, but advance money.
Why are there two SSI payments in June 2023?
The reason there are two payments is because of a timing irregularity. Supplemental Security Income benefit checks always arrive on the 1st of each month. This is true except for months when the 1st is a weekend or holiday. In those cases, the payment is sent on the immediately preceding business day.
In this way, the Social Security Administration ensures that payments arrive on time. And this is the case for the month of July, since the 1st of the month is a weekend. So the Administration sends the payment on June 30th.
Therefore, with Direct Deposit activated, the check arrives instantly, which means that we can enjoy it within the same month. While it is true that it is only a few days in advance, for some citizens it can be a huge relief. In case you have Direct Deposit activated, you will only have to wait a week to enjoy this check, since it will arrive on June 30th, that is to say, on Friday of next week.
