Supplemental Security Income checks in the United States arrive every month to recipients. This type of benefit is an extra help that the Social Security Administration sends to the most needy citizens. That is why in most cases we will be able to combine the Supplemental Security Income check with other benefits and different economic helps.
Although the Tax Refund is not a financial help as such, but a tax refund, we could also consider it as an extra payment. This extra payment can reach our pockets throughout the year depending on several factors. The collection method chosen or the day we send our Tax Return will make us receive this payment sooner or later.
Well, many Americans wonder if it is possible to combine the Supplemental Security Income with this Tax Refund. And the short answer is yes, of course. However, there may be some loose ends that make it impossible for us to receive both benefits at the same time. Have you received your 2023 Tax Refund and your August Supplemental Security Income yet?
SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME AND TAX REFUND
Both of these checks can find their way into Americans’ pockets. After all, Supplemental Security Income is a payment that only goes to the neediest. Receiving this benefit is an extra financial help.
In the case of the Tax Refund we find that we can receive it as long as we send our Tax Return on time. Even so, there is one thing to keep in mind regarding this situation. If we look at the SSI section, one of the requirements is low monthly income. So, if we have low monthly income, we probably won’t have to pay taxes.
And if we don’t have to pay taxes, we won’t have a Tax Refund. Basically, what we mean is that citizens with a Supplemental Security Income do not usually receive the Tax Refund. But in the event that we are entitled to receive it, we will be able to collect it without any problems.
Remember that you can combine SSI with any other type of benefit. We can receive it at the same time we receive stimulus checks or even the Social Security disability benefit.
In short, if you receive a Supplemental Security Income benefit, claiming the rest of the extra payments is always a good idea. In most cases we will be able to collect these benefits. However, we must also watch out that we do not have more income than required by Social Security for this monthly check.
