There are only a few hours left before the Social Security Administration sends millions of households in the United States the new check. This new check can be for up to $914 and Social Security will not send it to all pensioner beneficiaries. Only a group of these beneficiaries may receive it.
In addition to these beneficiaries, there are also other Americans who could have this check without collecting Social Security. It all depends on the individual situation. By meeting the requirements we can receive this benefit in the next few hours. In addition, if we activate a particular collection method we will not have to wait a day for this payment to reach our pocket.
This new Social Security payment is called Supplemental Security Income and the maximum check is $914. Even so, we must keep in mind that this benefit is not for all citizens, but only for those who have an economic need. In other words, only the most needy can receive this payment from Social Security.
Requirements to receive the next Social Security check
The first of the requirements to have the next Social Security payment in your pocket is to have the Supplemental Security Income benefit accepted. This is because the next of the payments is just that, SSI. This check is not for all Americans, but only for the neediest. Thus, only eligible pensioners can get this pension.
In order to collect the Supplemental Security Income check, two requirements must be met. The first of these requirements is to be 65 years of age or older or to have a disability. Either of these two conditions is totally valid to meet the first requirement of this Social Security benefit.
As for the second requirement, low income and low resources are mandatory. To measure this, the Social Security Administration makes an individual study of each applicant. So in order to apply for this benefit it is necessary for the Administration to study your specific case.
How can I check to see if I can apply for Supplemental Security Income?
While it is true that we can send in the paperwork and apply for the monthly Supplemental Security Income payment regardless of our situation, this is a waste of time. Thanks to the Social Security Administration’s Best Tool, we can verify that we have access to SSI in a matter of minutes.
By answering a few questions in a closed questionnaire we will find in a short time the affirmation that we can apply for this check. If yes, we only have to send the documentation to apply for it. If not, we will have to find another benefit for ourselves.
If you already have the benefit, a new check will arrive in your pocket on May 1st, 2023. Within the Supplemental Security Income there are no distinctions or groups. So any user who has this check payment will receive it from Social Security on the same day.
