Supplemental Security Income payments are monthly for all recipients in the United States with this type of benefit. This means that each month, Social Security retirees who have this subsidy accepted receive a check from the Administration to use for whatever they need.
However, there are several exceptions each year that mean that in one month we may not receive an SSI check. Even if that situation occurs, the Social Security Administration still sends out a check, albeit on a different day. If we take this into account, we will see that in the month of March we have two different SSI checks.
In just a couple of weeks, the Administration will send this Social Security check to beneficiaries who have previously accepted Supplemental Security Income. In order to receive it, that is basically the only requirement, to have it previously accepted. Otherwise we would have to wait for the SSA to accept it in full.
When will the Social Security Administration send the new SSI check?
The Administration will send out the second check for March on the 31st of this month. Retirees who have a Supplemental Security Income subsidy will be able to receive it this same day if they have Direct Deposit activated. If not, they can receive it up to 3 days later, depending on the method of payment.
What we do know for sure is that Social Security will be paying a second SSI check in March. This means that we will have some extra income, but on the other hand, it will mean that we will not cash an SSI check next month.
What is the maximum amount of Supplemental Security Income?
The amount a beneficiary receives depends directly on monthly income. The maximum Supplemental Security Income check that Social Security sends out each month is $914. This maximum check means that many people have enough money to pay all their bills.
Remember that not all Social Security beneficiaries can apply for Supplemental Security Income. A number of requirements must be met, since this check is for the neediest people.
Who is eligible for Social Security SSI?
To be eligible for Social Security SSI, you must meet several requirements:
- Be over 65 or have a disability.
- Have a low income.
- Have low income.
So if you don’t meet these requirements, you can’t apply for a monthly Supplemental Security Income check. Millions of Social Security beneficiaries who can apply for this payment don’t, so it’s a good idea to check to make sure you can apply.

What are the Social Security payments in March 2023?
In addition to these two SSI checks, in March 2023 the Social Security Administration sends different payments to beneficiaries. In each of these weeks, different retirees will receive the relevant benefit. Here is the schedule of SSA payments in March 2023:
- March 1st. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment day. This is the March-related payment and is the benefit for all recipients of this subsidy.
- March 8th. Retirement or disability benefit payment. This payment day is exclusively for beneficiaries born between the 1st and 10th of the month.
- March 15th. Disability or retirement benefit beneficiaries born between the 11th and 20th of the month collect their check on this day.
- March 22nd. Retirees with benefits who have a birthday between the 21st and 31st of the month receive their Social Security check on this day.
- March 31st. Last money sent by Social Security for the month. This is the second SSI check for the month of March. However, it actually belongs to the April payment schedule.
After these payments, all recipients must wait until April to cash a new check from the Social Security Administration.
What can I do if my SSI payment is late?
There are several reasons why a Supplemental Security Income payment may be late. Like this payment, other Social Security payments may also be late for the same reasons.
The main reason an SSA check may be late is because we have not updated our information correctly. If we have moved, married or divorced, we need to update our information immediately. Through My Social Security we can do this quickly and easily.
Another reason any of the payments from the government may be late is because of our bank. The bank can withhold our money for the following reasons:
- Because we have a debt with the bank.
- Because we have a mortgage or a personal loan.
- Because our information is not complete or correct.
- Because there are specific problems with the bank.
Therefore, in order to claim any payment it is advisable to go first to the bank. If our bank does not help us to receive the money, we should then go to the Social Security Administration. However, remember that if you receive the money by bank transfer you will have to wait up to 3 days to receive it, as it is a slightly slower method than Direct Deposit.
