Those United States citizens who have a United States Social Security benefit may get a different check. This other check is the Supplemental Security Income and can grant $550 on average to your beneficiaries.
If we want to get one of these payments we have to meet several requirements. If we meet them we can apply for the check. However, not all Americans who have Supplemental Security Income accepted can get the $550 payment. That payment is the average and some get a larger check and some get a smaller check.
What is certain is that if we have the payment accepted is that we will get it every month. This Supplemental Security Income payment is an ideal complement to the Social Security checks, although having one of these payments does not mean that you will always get the other.
How do I get Supplemental Security Income?
In order to access this payment, we will have to apply for the monthly benefit from Social Security. If we meet the requirements we will get this benefit every month. So take a good look at the requirements, because if you have the check accepted you will be able to enjoy extra money to use it for whatever you need.

The requirements and steps to obtain the monthly Supplemental Security Income payment are:
- Be 65 years of age or older or have a disability.
- Have low resources and low monthly income.
If this is the case, you will get a monthly Supplemental Security Income payment of up to $943. However, the payment can be much less, since this check of $943 is the maximum. Once we apply for the check we must wait to get it. Until the Social Security Administration accepts the payment we cannot get it.
We have several options to apply for it. On the one hand, we can request this payment through one of the Social Security offices. On the other hand, it is also possible to obtain this benefit through an online application.
Regardless of how you apply for Supplemental Security Income, you will get a check on the 1st of each month, with some exceptions. In addition, the payment is compatible with Social Security, so it is a good supplement. Some Americans collect both payments in the same week, but this is not mandatory.
