In the United States, the timing of payments for any of the Social Security benefits follows certain patterns that we can know in advance. This means that with time in advance we can find out on which day we will get the new check for both SSI and the other benefits.
And this time it is the SSI payment that we are talking about, and in the coming months these checks will arrive in different forms. Currently we will only be able to get two checks per month pertaining to the 2023 calendar year.
In this sense, it is true that we will not only get these two checks from Supplemental Security Income. There is a fourth extra check before the end of the year but only a specific group will be able to enjoy it.
And the best of all is that any citizen who has accepted this SSI benefit will be able to enjoy the check. Whether or not you get it on the same day it is sent will depend on the payment method you have activated. Will you be able to collect the payment on the same day you receive Social Security?
PAYMENT DAYS OF THE LAST SSI FOR 2023
In order to determine if we will get the last three 2023 SSI payments on time, we must meet two requirements. The first is to have the Supplemental Security Income benefit accepted in advance.
If our check is in process we will not be able to get the remaining three for the year. We may get some of them, but we must wait until our application is fully accepted by the Social Security Administration.
The other requirement is to have Direct Deposit activated. This collection method allows us to enjoy the Social Security checks immediately, so we don’t have to wait a single day to enjoy the money.
If we comply with these requirements, in the next months we will be able to enjoy the payment in the following days:
- November 1st. SSI payment of this same month.
- December 1st. Supplemental Security Income check for the month of December. This payment is the last official payment of this benefit in 2023.
- December 29th. January 2024 Supplemental Security Income payment. This payment will be the first with the 2024 COLA increase added.
While it is true that any citizen with the SSI benefit accepted will be able to enjoy the December 29th payment, only those who activate Direct Deposit will be able to have the money on the same day.
All other Americans, those who do not have Direct Deposit activated, will get the money in the following days. Likewise, the check on December 29th will be bigger than the rest, because it will have the COLA percentage added.
