Over 7 million US citizens are paid Supplemental Security Income (SSI). It is a government plan that gives financial assistance to low-income individuals, the disabled, the blind or senior citizens 65 years or older. It is paid on a monthly basis, but in case the payment date is on a weekend (Saturday or Sunday) or federal holiday, the date can be adjusted.
Next SSI Payment: April 1, 2025
Based on the Social Security Administration’s official payment schedule, April 1, 2025** will see the release of the next SSI payment. During January and February, a payment was received on a preceding workday as the first day of the month coincided with a holiday or weekend.
This payment will be issued to all deserving beneficiaries on April 1. No one other than those no longer eligible will be denied this benefit. It will be disbursed directly either in the form of direct deposit or check.
People receiving SSI and Social Security benefits simultaneously
Individuals eligible for SSI and Social Security (SSDI or retirement benefits) will receive an SSI check on April 1 and a Social Security or SSDI check* on April 3. Thus, individuals who are covered by both plans will be receiving two payments in two days.
What will be the amount of the SSI payment?
The size of the SSI benefit varies based on the individual’s circumstances. If the person does not have any other income, he or she will get the full SSI benefit. If the individual is receiving retirement or SSDI, his or her SSI will be lower.
- **Seniors aged *65 years and above* receive an average of $590 per month.
- Children under 18 receive an average of $834 per month.
- People aged 18-64 receive an average of $762 per month.
- People with no other deductions will receive a maximum of $967 (increased from $943 in 2024).
Payments for married couples and essential individuals
If both the members of a married couple are eligible for SSI, then they both can get a combined maximum of $1,450. An essential person can get up to a maximum of $484.
Effect of COLA increase in 2025
SSI benefits rise in 2025 as a result of the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). This is the fact that recipients will receive more money this year compared to 2024. The rise has been done with the consideration of inflation and the cost of living going up.
How to make sure you get paid on time?
- Check your eligibility – If there is any change in your income or assets**, inform SSA.
- Choose direct deposit – This will ensure that you receive payment on time and in a secure manner.
- Keep an eye on SSA updates – Get information about any changes through the official website or mail notification.
Conclusion
SSI payments are an important financial aid for millions of people in America. Eligible beneficiaries should be ready for the payment coming on April 1, 2025. Those who are beneficiaries of both Social Security and SSI will receive two separate payments within two days. The COLA increase has increased this year’s payment amount, which will provide more financial assistance to eligible citizens.
If you are an SSI beneficiary, make sure your eligibility remains intact and you are receiving your payments on time.
