$914 Social Security payments on Friday 29 September: who will receive them?
The SSA is preparing to issue the final batch of Social Security payments scheduled for September.
Every month, the Social Security Administration (SSA) sends out a range of benefits to recipients in the US.
These include disability payments and retirement checks, as well as survivor benefits, which are paid to sons, spouses or parents of a deceased Social Security recipient.
In addition, the SSA’s list of benefits features the Supplemental Security Income (SSI), a scheme for people with little or no income who are over 65 or have a disability.

Having now paid out almost all Social Security checks scheduled for September, the SSA still has one more batch of benefits to send this month. On Friday 29 September, the agency will pay out the next round of SSI checks.
This payment run is actually for October’s SSI benefits. Although beneficiaries of the scheme usually receive their money on the first day of each month, October’s payment date has been brought forward because the month begins on a Sunday.
Any household with an individual who receives SSI is eligible to receive discounted internet service through the ACP. See if you qualify here: https://t.co/Yr2IIRp3dR pic.twitter.com/tswGL0FqDL
