Although Social Security retirement checks arrive every month to citizens of the United States, the money from this benefit is not enough for all beneficiaries. So if you have an extra SSI check, you should know that you can count on it every month, but you should also keep in mind that payments for this benefit will not arrive in the next few days.
While it is true that the SSI benefit is undoubtedly a very useful type of benefit for the most needy citizens, it is also true that it is mandatory to be eligible in order to qualify for the monthly benefit. This check may be high for eligible Americans, but it is also true that they depend on factors such as the income of the citizen receiving the benefit.
When do the new SSI payments arrive?
SSI checks usually arrive on the 1st of each month. This is the case except for days when that day is a holiday or weekend. The payment for the month of May will be the new payment of checks for this benefit, which will arrive without irregularities. So the payment will take place on May 1st, which means that we have to wait almost a full month to have the money available.
Thus, the SSI benefits arrive, in addition, twice within the month of May 2025. This is because the month of June does have an irregularity, which means that we find one payment on the 1st and another on the 30th of the month. Without a doubt, it is a good opportunity to collect a double check and thus get some extra money on top of what is usually sent with the SSI.
How much can I receive from the SSI?
On the one hand, we find that the SSI payment has a maximum check of $967 for United States citizens who collect individually. But this payment can be higher for citizens who get the check together with an eligible spouse.
Americans who can get SSI together with their eligible spouse have access to a check for up to $1,450 to use as they need. For that reason, Americans who have this benefit activated can have a good amount of money that is undoubtedly a great help in general.
Remember that to obtain the payments of this benefit it is necessary, on the one hand, to have a low monthly income and, on the other hand, to be 65 years old or have a disability. If you are within these parameters, you will be able to enjoy this check without any problems.
