Recipients of the Supplemental Security Income benefit are in luck, as this payment from the United States Social Security may arrive in the next few days. In order to get it, we only need to meet two conditions, so it is very easy to acquire this check.
If we are waiting for the December Supplemental Security Income (SSI) payment, we only have to wait a couple more days. The SSI calendar for December has no modification. Well, there is a modification, but not for December’s payment, but for next month’s payment.
In short, if we have a check for this benefit, it is possible that you will be able to get it very soon. If you do not meet all the requirements to receive it this week, there is nothing to worry about, since you will still get it in the next few days.
As for the requirements, one is related to the payment itself and the other to the payment method chosen to get it. So just by checking the eligibility list you will know if your Supplemental Security Income check will be available very soon.
WHEN WILL THE NEW SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME PAYMENT ARRIVE?
To get the new Supplemental Security Income payment, there are only two requirements that must be met. These requirements are very easy to meet, so getting a check on the new payment day is very easy. The payment will be made on the 1st of December, as usual for these cases.
The conditions if we want this check are:
- Have the Supplemental Security Income benefit accepted in advance. Any payments that are in the process of being accepted will not arrive on the 1st of December.
- Activate Direct Deposit as a payment method. This collection method is the fastest way to get all Social Security checks. We will not have to wait even one day to have the money available, so with this method we will get the payment on the 1st of December.
When the Social Security Administration sends the check we will be able to get it if we meet these two requirements. If not, we will not have the money available on the 1st of the month, but we will be able to get it in the next three days. Sometimes the money may take a little longer to arrive because there is a weekend right after the payment.
WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM SSI CHECK IN 2023?
The maximum payment we can get from Supplemental Security Income in 2023 is $914. This means that this payment on December 1st will have a maximum of that amount. However, this amount will cease to be in effect as of January 2024. For some it will be slightly earlier.
The 2024 COLA will increase all benefits by 3.2%, which brings the Supplemental Security Income check to $943 as of January next year. This will happen with all Social Security payments as well.
But it should be noted that since December 1st is a holiday, the Social Security Administration will send out the SSI check a few days earlier. Therefore, we will be able to have a check for up to $943 on December 29th if we meet the same requirements we named above.
