Eligible Americans can get a check up to $943 through this benefit from Social Security and the United States Government. And best of all, the payment is compatible with other different benefits. This makes it so that we can get this payment with a maximum of $943 and, in addition, other different benefits.
If we are eligible to get the extra check at the end of May it means that we have low income. It is also possible to get the benefit only if we meet certain requirements. Either way, the important thing to keep in mind is that once we start getting this payment we will have a little extra money that we can use for whatever we need.
Who is eligible for the check of up to $943?
In order to have this benefit we are going to have to meet two requirements. Ultimately, this benefit is only for the neediest Americans, so it would not make sense for all Americans to be able to get the check.
The requirements for this payment are:
- Have low monthly income, as well as low resources.
- Be 65 years of age or older or have a disability.
The check in question is called Supplemental Security Income and is an extra payment offered by the Social Security Administration. This payment is compatible with retirement benefits, but you do not have to be retired to get the monthly payment.
When does this extra check of $943 arrive?
The Social Security Administration will send this monthly payment for up to $943 on the 31st day of May 2024. This payment is an extra that Americans can get in the month, since it does not belong to the May payment schedule, but to June.
Therefore, we can state that the payment is a check in advance of next month. This is due to a calendar irregularity. The check for this benefit always arrives on the 1st of each month, except when that day is a holiday or weekend.
When the 1st of the month is a weekend or holiday, the Social Security Administration sends this check on the immediately preceding business day. This is exactly what happens with the June payment, the 1st of which is a weekend. In this specific case, the payment is sent on the 31st day of May 2024.
