The new Supplemental Security Income payments will arrive this week for a group of United States citizens. Although it is true that thousands of Americans already have this payment, thousands more have not yet gotten the benefit.
The collection method chosen is essential to get all Social Security payments as soon as possible. In the case of Supplemental Security Income, this is no different, since it will arrive sooner or later depending on whether or not we activate the fastest collection method.
How do I get my April Supplemental Security Income today?
In order to get the new April Supplemental Security Income benefit today, you do not need to have the faster collection method activated. Those with the faster collection method activated can receive the payment on the same day it is sent.
In this regard, the Administration sends the SSI on the 1st of each month. And in the month of April there are no irregularities in this regard. Therefore, the payment was sent on the 1st of the month. So those with Direct Deposit activated got the payment on that day of the month.
But if you have not activated this collection method, the check will arrive today or in the next few days. So pay attention to your bank account because you could receive a check for up to $943 in Supplemental Security Income as early as this week in April.
Can I increase my Supplemental Security Income payment?
The maximum Supplemental Security Income checks are $943 per month in this year 2024. But the amount each beneficiary gets is unique. That is, even if we have such a benefit, it does not mean that we get a check for $943 a month.
The payment we get each month from this benefit depends on our monthly income. Thus, the more income we have, the less money we will collect from this benefit. In theory there is no minimum, but there is the maximum that we have already discussed.
Therefore, it is not possible to increase the monthly Supplemental Security Income payment. At least, it is not possible to do so actively. If we get a lower income for a period of time, we may get a higher SSI check or vice versa.
